I worked as part of a team to create a well-being activity book where we focused on presenting the 'TEAM NUH' values to adult patients and staff at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
My Role:
My role was to help with the design of the booklet in terms of adding illustrations, laying out the content effectively, helping to implement the ideas of the other members and editing the elements of the booklet.
Mascot Design:
The idea of this character was to be linked to the values and used within the Activity Book. The name of this character was created by someone else who used "NUH" from "TEAM NUH" as the basis for this character's name. Nuha's design was influenced by the rubber hose art style.
I designed different poses for this character to suit the activity or page she is needed on. Nuha's initial design was based on the Nottingham Hospitals Charity. This was later revised based on feedback.
At first, Nuha's design was based on the Nottingham Hospitals Charity, using the same colours. It then evolved to be less associated with the brand by changing the Nuha colours to red. Finally, it was decided that Nuha's design shouldn't be associated with the Nottingham Hospitals Charity logo, so it became a normal heart-shaped character.
Garden Spread Activity:
I designed this spread to help the reader in two ways: one way was to help them calm down with a breathing activity and the second way was as a colouring activity, where the design is based on a garden connected to the Hospital charity.
Activity Spreads:
We created activities based on the Nottingham area for the 'united' value of 'TEAM NUH'. The aim of these activities was to help connect the reader to Nottingham through
different activities.
different activities.
Poetry Section:
This poetry spread belongs to the 'mindful' value of 'TEAM NUH'. I designed the poetry spread and added the prompts. But the content of the poems came from the other key designer in my group.
