An American clinic has contacted you to design an A5 poster for diabetes awareness. November is Diabetes Awareness Month. The clinic has given you the following brief:
- The purpose of the poster is to encourage healthier habits and to create awareness.
- The poster needs a heading: “Prevent prediabetes sooner rather than later!”
- The poster needs to include the following text:
- Paragraph text: “Prediabetes is a serious health condition where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults have prediabetes—that’s 88 million people—but the majority of people don’t know they have it. The good news is that by making small healthy lifestyle changes, it is possible to prevent type 2 diabetes and even reverse your prediabetes.”*
- The following tips need to be included with a subheading: “Tips to help manage prediabetes and prevent diabetes:”
- Move more: Get at least 30 minutes of physical activity, 5 days a week
- Pick foods that are high in fiber and low in fat and sugar
- Drink water instead of sweetened drinks
- Lose weight, track it, and keep it off
- Seek support to reverse prediabetes
- A call-to-action should also be included: “Visit your local clinic for a check-up if you would like more information or support.”

- Create a logo idea for the full company name: Oranjezicht City Farm using what you’ve learnt today. Use Adobe Illustrator or similar software to create the logo.
- Practise giving and receiving constructive criticism. Meet up with three other classmates remotely or in person. Each person should take five minutes to present their logo design for Oranjezicht City Farm. After the presentation, each of the other two classmates should offer at least one point where they think the logo could be improved and praise two aspects of the logo.
2 things that could be changed with my logo according to other students. I could have taken time to make it more interestineg and less boring. 2. i could have experimented more with fonts.
2 things that were good. 1. the texture of the corn feild being interpreted so it ties in with the farm theme and its a easy to read font.
