#Washyourhands
A simple, clear message to share as we all pull together.
As the world responds to Covid-19, instructions to be hygienic are being shared across the globe. Rush University Medical Center and Skender Construction shared this increasingly important message on the side of a building in Chicago.
Account manager Christine Fetting stepped into an early morning Friday meeting with Skender Construction and Rush University Medical Center. The objective was clear: Share awareness about the coronavirus. There are thousands of hashtags at any moment. #WASHYOURHANDS is/was incredibly urgent. It needed be seen by as many people as possible.
To make it visible, their teams decided on the 8th Floor. It would not be ignored. Skender and Rush developed the print-ready files. Cushing stayed open over the weekend, with a crew ready to print and install. Here are some images from the graphics lab to final installation.
THANKS TO THE RUSH TEAM!!!! for answering some questions about how the ideas and install came together. They are below too!
