Paper towel: Print publication for a rainy day

17 : 07 : 2013 Shoes : Newspaper Club : Vulpine

London – Cycling brand Vulpine and printing company Newspaper Club have created a promotional paper that doubles as a shoe-drying kit.

The paper centres around the very British problem of having to cycle in the rain, and the lesser known method of keen cyclists to stuff newspaper into their clothes and shoes to dry out before the next day’s cycling. The paper will be unveiled at Vulpine’s summer fete, the cycling brand’s free event that celebrates creativity around cycling.

The imagery of the paper features work from Richard Turley, creative director of Bloomberg Businessweek, Carolyn Roberts, creative director of The Observer, and Matt Jones, interaction design director of Google Creative Lab.

This is a great way to create a playful new use around print media. For another good example, read our Seed story on Ogilvy & Mather France’s campaign for IBM.
