Its Okay! Poster
This poster is made for primary education settings (4 to 8 years old). The wording is kept simple and easy to understand. The color bright yellow is used because of a study done in 2010 by Chris J. Boyatzis and Reenu Varghese in which they concluded children associate the color yellow with emotions such as happiness and strength.

Sankofa - It's NOT a Curse Poster
This poster utilizes the Adinkra symbol, Sankofa, meaning that we should learn from our past. In the past, mental illness has been known as a curse in Ghana. With this poster, I hope to break that stigma in people's minds and encourage them to talk about their mental illness.
08
Break the Chains Poster
This poster plays off the former practice of shackling in Ghana. Ghanaian people suffering from mental illness used to be chained to permanent landmarks in an attempt to cure them. Obviously, this practice does not work and only hurts the suffering. The play on words of "breaking the chain" hopes to encourage the Ghanaian people to speak up about any mental problems they may have.
