Solution
Poster 1: ‘Everybody is a teacher of wellbeing’
This poster uses a variety of contrasting typographic styles to create visual interest. The message appears to be painstakingly crafted with chalk across a blackboard background. The lesson being taught in this class is simple and clear—all employees and students at high schools are capable of participating in practices that look after the health and wellbeing of themselves and their peers.
Poster 2: ‘Bring wellbeing to work’
Everyone loves holidays—sun, surf and sand, right? This poster specifically targets teachers and we know they are no different. Holidays are probably the place where people have the highest sense of wellbeing. But we can’t be on holidays all the time—sometimes we just have to be at work.
But what if we could take our sense of wellbeing with us to work? Or take our work on holiday with us? This concept is a juxtaposition of these elements—a lighthearted vision of how much better life could be if we chose to take our wellbeing with us every day.
