One of the environments given was a nightclub and I knew straight away what I would do. I would stick with the traditional, internationally-recognised signs for male and female toilets, but add the element that I feel much resonates with a nightclub. My idea would be to place the image of a brain in the area on the male and female toilet signs which highlights their thoughts and intentions whilst being intoxicated. There was some debate during the hand-on presentation whether I was seen to be sexist, but my response was simple. From my view men only have one thing on their mind after a few beers which I believe I have shown in a very obvious way with my toilet signs.

Taking the conventional and well-known toilet sign and turning it into something new I thought would be quite difficult. But after the brief was set and the list of environments was revealed I saw an opportunity to use wit within my final piece.
