Balanced buoyancy is about creating a wetsuit that puts your body in the best position to reduce drag and increase swim performance. Just like people need different running shoes designed to work with their biomechanics, at blueseventy they understand that no two swimmers are the same, and therefore require wetsuits that are designed to address their biomechanical individuality.
My brief : to create visual aids for point-of-sale that assist swimmers to purchase the right open water swimming wetsuit for their unique needs. In order to make that decision, they first need to understand the difference between natural and positive buoyancy, and then match a suit to their own performance level, swim distance and body position in the water.

Working with a truly global company with world leading products on a multitude of graphic design disciplines was fantastic, but sadly had to end when they employed an in-house designer.
