Description:

Poster for Septamin disinfectant.The very cute design shows the advertised product itself. The designer used green as the dominant colour since green is the colour of sterile environments, hospitals. The bottle is on the white-green checked floor which also alludes to a hospital. A kid is climbing up on a ladder to the top of the bottle suggesting that the product is so effective that it  creates a safe, disinfected environment where children can also play without the danger of catching any desease. The text on the bottle shows the brand name and its purpose (disinfectant). The letters below it are indistinctive. At the bottom the text says that this is the perfect disinfectant.
