Final Ideas

Posters for children

These posters that are aimed at children are very different to those that are aimed at adults. They use a variety of colours, the images are bright, friendly and simple in design. They don't have a lot of unnecessary text, what ever text is used is large, bold and eye catching.

Posters aimed at adults

These are examples of CPR posters aimed at adults. They have informative but grey kinda dull images, they only use the colours red, black and blue (red and black are commonly used in emergency posters) 

CPR

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for adults, children and infants.

Constant repetition of colours on posters and leaflets: White, Green, Yellow and Red.

Divided into 3/4 steps: Call 999/112
                                     Tilt head back, cover mouth with yours and blow. Give 2 breaths.
                                     If still not breathing, begin chest compressions. Push down at least 30 times.
                                     Continue until help arrives.

Most posters that are located in schools/crèche's/nurseries have images more colourful images, catchy slogans and friendlier models usually cartoon characters that will grab the children's attention.

something funny instead?

Burns & Scalds

Been on the receiving end of one too many of these at work.

Hate this Burnshield product, it stinks!

Numero Uno: Paramedic Assist

Ok, project one: Paramedic Assist

What can I do to help Paramedic's in their field? I think I will try to design a series of informative leaflets and posters for a business work space. They could be specifically tailored for different working environments, for example CPR steps in a creche, what to do for serious burns and scalds in a kitchen. 

While researching I've come across http://www.pecha-kucha.org/ and am still browsing through various pk presentations.
