New Blood Entry — Child Obesity
Award: Graphite Pencil
Monotype / 2016
What if we used the techniques of food packaging – the eye catching design, the bright colours, and the friendly typefaces to inform people of the risks of eating too much sugary food? What if every time we reach for a chocolate bar we are reminded that 1/3 of school children are overweight? Or the increased risk of type 2 diabetes, asthma, stroke, heart disease and cancers that obesity brings. Obesity is reversible and 100% preventable.
