Rupesh also gave me a publication on the Es Tiempo campaign designed by the students of Art Centre College of Design in Pasadena, California.
The Es Tiempo campaign aimed at constructing an awareness intervention programme among the hispanic woman against the rising issue of cervical cancer among them. The branding was unique by trying to move away from the usual colours and forms used in the medical and health domains.
Also the publication gave me a clear idea on how research can help in narrowing down on the design plan and the mediums that will be suitable for such a communication program.
‘Es Tiempo’ meaning ‘It’s Time’ focussed on the concept of the blossoming of the jacaranda trees and remind the women that is was time for to come for the regular check-ups for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. It created an awareness and intervention programme wherin the medias used for spreading the message was not only important. It hoped to bring about a change in the behavorial patterns of the hispanic women so that each woman could help each other with the help of a credit accumulation system which could be exchanged for goodies and gifts.
