I‘ve not posted on here for a while, as with all small businesses or maybe it’s just me, when work is busy your head’s down and your on it, social media is the last thing on your mind. Anyway, I thought this one was worth a mention.
You may have seen last Friday, that Barnsley Hospital opened up its new state of the art Intensive Care Unit. Back in Early February we were asked to design the wall graphics for the new ward, which includes a bright, light space, with more room for privacy, a room for families to stay over with loved ones, and easy access to the outside garden. All of these factors help create shorter stays and hopefully speedier recoveries ❤️.
Keeping all of the above in mind, the aim was to create thoughtful, uplifting designs for both the patients and the ICU nurses to look at, at what is a stressful time for everyone. Complementing the peaceful green interior, we created designs based on a soft pastel colour palette. We used a handwriting font, with a soft edge, including positive messages within the line drawing. Following on from the Proud to Care branding, we included some local well known Barnsley landmarks, including Locke Park, Worsbrough Mill and Cannon Hall. These were included to add interest, and be a bit of a talking point for patients, family and staff. All ideas were shared with the ICU staff, as part of the process, for their input.
This was a lovely project to be a part of ❤️.
Thank you Gail for all your hard work! You’re a star ⭐️
