Durex Banana (Student Work)

Designed by Nancy Taing. She is a senior at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and pursuing her BFA in Design.

The assignment was to create a marketing character. I noticed that every marketing character for condoms was in fact, a condom. Initially concepts for a banana as the character (for obvious reasons), turned into a seductive monkey clinging to a banana.

The packaging is reminiscent of sex ed demonstrations of tutorials on condom usage, and also perfectly contains the product. (Condoms would be wrapped individually, but in circles rather than squares.)
