At any given time, hundreds of millions of women around the world are menstruating. So why are we still so squeamish about the subject?
In many parts of the world, menstruating girls and women are still banned from conducting normal lives. Many girls in India can't access the kitchen or places of worship because their bodies are believed to be impure. In India, millions of girls drop out school every year due to period poverty and shame.
Periods are usually associated with disgust, shame and embarrassment. Our society makes us believe that menstruation isn't routine, shouldn't be spoken about publicly, and in extreme cases, girls should be ashamed when they are going through their periods.
This needs to stop immediately as this stigma severely degrades a woman's personal identity and self-confidence.
After conducting an online survey for my research, the research concluded that a majority of the people believe menstruation shame exists because of the lack of awareness in men possibly a result of their upbringing and religious insecurities. In order to end the stigma around menstruation, we need to put a stop to period shaming.
But how do we do that? My solution is simple, I have created a campaign called 'It's Bloody Natural' aimed towards bringing awareness in men by creating a platform that enables men to learn and discuss the subject.
Brand Identity
I wanted my campaign to have the same feel as the brand 'Callaly'. Hence, I used the same colour palette and created my own brand identity for the campaign.
Packaging Design
This campaign turns boring sanitary pads packaging into one that is inspiring, confident, and sparks conversation.
Website Mockup
The campaign comprises of a website that provides basic knowledge about menstruation and a Q&A section where anyone can post their doubts and get clarification on the same.
Social Media
I created a social media presence mockup for the brand.
The idea is to click a picture of your favourite quote pad and post it on Instagram using #itsbloodynatural and help spread the word.
Visual Toolkit
I created a visual toolkit of all the elements used in my design which includes the typeface, illustration style, logo design and colour palette.
