Try to imagine 100 years into the future. A future in which access to water isn't a right, but a privilege controlled by the powerful companies. Over the past 100 years there's been severe environmental disaster and famine and wars, and total anarchy all over the world, all because of limited water access. «VANNDAL» (name is based on the Germanic tribe who fought and vandalized Rome.) is a resistance group who is fighting against the gigantic company «City Water» who has privatized and controlled all the freshwater. The only way to survive is to perform illegal actions to get water. Steal water from the water lines and distribute to the black market for water.
The world water resources are limited relative to human demand. Based on statistics and facts the concept is to show a possible evolution of the problems within the global water situation 100 years into the future. What will the world look like if we assume that the water problems are developing?
The brief was to make a visual concept to raise awareness about a partial problem within the global water situation. This was my 2nd year exam project at Westerdals Oslo ACT, the project lasted for 3-weeks.

↑ Since you cannot contact Vanndal and they don’t have a permanent location. These cards are meant to use as message cards for the members.
↑ The illegal water is filled in old empty bottles and distributed to the black market for water. Vanndal has there own packaging so they can write information such as water quality, taste, location, date and nutrition facts directly on the bottle. The packaging is design to fit different kinds of bottles, since Vanndal uses bottles they have found.
