Public Health Posters: Created a series of calm, authoritative print posters for high-traffic government facilities, featuring reassuring typography, simple icons, carefully selected colours, and concise messaging based on the Provincial Health Officer’s directives.
Ensured all materials were suitable for both print and digital use while maintaining full compliance with government standards.
Result
The redesigned process chart dramatically improved readability and public understanding of the environmental assessment process. The COVID-19 public health posters provided clear, consistent guidance to staff and visitors across British Columbia, contributing to safer government environments. Both projects strengthened trust in provincial communications and demonstrated effective visual simplification of complex regulatory and health information.
