DIABETES NYC POSTER

Concept | Poster Design

Challenged with the brief to create a call-to-action poster, the given task was to invigorate an audience to act based on the poster design. I chose the issues and complications with diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that causes complications with the body’s blood sugar level and how the body uses insulin to disperse energy throughout people.

I thought of a way that people could understand and relate to this disease. The body is a system, and so is the way that society travels. I combined the idea of a subway map to relate to the human blood system. I created a faux subway system that is based on the London rail system. The message also plays with the subway transportation concept.

Within the poster had to be a shock factor. Mine was that the subject has a leg missing, this is to indicate that it has been amputated from complications of the disease.

To play with the poster, I added two other variations. This is to show my ability to concept various elements in different light.
