Visually Conveying a Sensitive Topic
Written by Maryellen Lazzaro on June 12, 2016
Recently, Lazzaro Designs produced a pamphlet about restraints. Yes, it was a difficult topic to visually convey. Obviously showing restraints of any kind was not an option. So, Maryellen chose a stock image that was soothing (hands comforting a patient’s hand). In fact, within the brochure tips were provided to guide families and friends on what they can do to help reduce a patient’s agitation and minimize the use of restraints.
As for the design, it is in keeping with the look Maryellen has developed for all brochures being prepared for The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s department of nursing education. And like all brochures will be produced in multiple languages.
