Health departments (clinics and hospitals)

In many health departments, it is critical that designers/researchers produce graphic images and brief word introduction with a long process of researching. Colour, layout, graphics and typography is still very important for readability and special needs such as impaired people who have poor eyesight. For example, the colour red at the top indicates the critical steps of reliving a person who shows the first sign of asthma. Therefore for green at the bottom, it shows the detailed introduction of how to use the inhaler without needing emergency help.
