PLUS THREE DEGREES
DESIGNED FOR THE WORST, PLUS THREE DEGREES IS A SNEAKER CAMPAIGN IDENTITY FOR A FUTURE THAT WE HOPE NEVER TO SEE
This university project challenged me to develop a new sustainability-led sneaker range and promotional assets campaign for Converse x Renew Labs. In a market where environmentally and ecologically friendly design often means a green or neutral colour palette, I wanted to create an atypical identity that would stand out.

During my research, I read an article in The Guardian that really resonated with me and my objectives. As well as hard-hitting images, the article includes a series of graphs projecting when global temperatures are likely to hit key benchmarks if CO2 emissions are not mitigated - and what the resulting climatic scenarios will be.
We are warming our planet at an unprecedented rate. Earth is already around 1.2°C hotter than the pre-industrial levels of the 1800s, and the science is clear: if we don’t stem our CO2 emissions, it’ll be 3°C hotter by the end of the century. We’re already experiencing the impact of climate change, and things will only get worse if we don’t achieve net zero with increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and heatwaves.
I developed Plus Three Degrees as a reminder of why we need to reject waste and overconsumption and end emissions. The campaign focuses on a range of sneakers designed to help humanity survive the consequences of an imagined 3°C hotter future.
Through its visuals and product lines, Plus Three Degrees intensifies awareness of the impacts of climate change and empowers the campaign audience to demand that the world’s commitments to net zero are met, ensuring this imagined future does not become our reality.













THE PROCESS
“The custom scratched font, textures and colours hit the mark and deliver the message on urgency. The wildfire billboard is a winner, with highly impactful photography and headline.”
