My submission to the United Nations Global Call Out To Creatives brief set in April 2020. Use any creative medium to produce work that captures one of the coronavirus key messages, in a clear, impactful and shareable way. I decided on 'Personal Hygiene' and washing hands in particular,
I wanted to create a fun and playful illustration to promote the importance of hand washing during this crisis. Using a style I love, I have tried to give the liquid a thick, oily consistency to represent the virus needing to be scrubbed off like an oil spill would. This is with the hope that viewers understand that it isn't something that will be cleared with water alone and that soap is essential to stop the spread of the virus.
The piece was planned and then created by hand in Adobe Illustrator. The artwork was then Giclée printed on 290gsm eco-friendly Hahnemühle Bamboo stock.
