Visual Designs Save Lives - Medical Pictograms
Eric Dsane
VISUAL DESIGNS SAVE LIVES is a series of medical pictograms that represent medical information within Ghanaian healthcare. These pictograms instruct patients on how to use the medicine. 
The pictograms include stickers and instruction sheets which can be used on different types of medicines or distributed to pharmacies within Ghana. The visual designs can be used by everyone but specifically those who struggle reading. The medical information is categorized into 3 different types: When and how to take, things you should not do, and side effects.
