When COVID-19 hit the world, our lives took an unexpected turn. I remember visiting downtown Accra during the peak of the lockdowns, and it was dead quiet. The once hyperactive city was silent. Unbelievable! It felt as if the world had come to an end.
All of us were affected by the curse of this disease. My design work came to a sudden halt. Some businesses paused, and unfortunately, some of my friends lost their jobs.
I could not bear to listen or watch the news. I got fed up with reports of death, suffering, and misery.
Fast forward to 2022. We are rebuilding our lives brick by brick from the ground up with the remains of our ruins. Those of us fortunate to be among the living have the mammoth task of getting ourselves back to where we used to be or better. We need the support of others to succeed. Friends, family, and well-wishers can be there for us and lend us the support we need. Help, though, can come in many forms – monetary, encouragement, inspiration, among others.
I used several short phrases that have the capability to uplift the spirit of others. I want people to see the artworks and feel a sense of love, care, and upliftment. All the typography is crafted carefully to have a lasting impact on people. By employing the use of simple shapes, patterns, textures, and bold colors, I hope to give life to the words.
Perhaps these words could jump right from the pages to the heart.
