Deliver urgent, life-saving information in a way that was instantly understandable, emotionally resonant, and accessible across diverse audiences and environments.
Approach
As Art Director, I helped develop the campaign’s creative direction using visual language inspired by emergency dispatch systems. Bold typography, high-contrast color, and minimal layouts were used to reinforce clarity, urgency, and memorability.
The system was designed to function consistently across outdoor media, transit signage, and mobile platforms.
