'The Playful Teacher' is a research-based project for Harris School in Rugby, which explores the idea of engaging students in learning through the use of play, games, unusual teaching materials and different teaching styles.
The toolkit contains: a 24-page book, DVD of interviews, set of 6 postcards game and a poster for the classrooms; all packaged in a bright yellow mailer with custom sticker. The project branding had to reflect both the serious, research based content and the fun, playful teaching style we are encouraging. We struck the balance with a collage style which included lots of different scanned papers and textures, post-it notes, hand drawn typography, sketches and 3d glasses. The toolkits have been sent to 200 schools across the Midlands, with plans to go nationwide.
'I'm really delighted with the work you've done for the project Charlee. You have been able to interpret us brilliantly! And everyone I've showed the book to have been excited by it. Thank you.' 
Chris Browning,
Harris School.
