Dan Sweeney - Graphic Design
The solution to spiked drinks in nightclubs? Dan Sweeney (22) from Dunfermline has designed a Smirnoff ice bottle from steel that can be carried on a belt or buckle by way of a magnet so it can stay close even when dancing. Answering the design brief to encourage men to drink Smirnoff Ice, Dan has designed the bottle like a motorbike handle with special grips at either side.
As a Volunteer in the reserve training branch of the RAF, Dan also decided to design a new logo and branding campaign for the Air Cadets to move away from the traditional military image and encourage young boys to get involved.
Dan takes groups of the air cadets on adventure training, abseiling, climbing, kayaking, and on the Duke of Edinburgh award. His new design is more in keeping with the images of adventure in boys' comics. Dan hopes the RAF will adopt his new designs for their national recruitment campaign.
