There is an answer

Another really interesting and rewarding project with the talented team at Darling Downs South West Qld Medicare Local (DDSWQML). We've just completed a poster for a suicide prevention initiative which will be seen, amongst other places, on the back of toilet cubicle doors in local shopping centres.

The concept was based around the words from a very moving TV campaign (with permission) produced by the AMA Queensland. It is designed to drive the community to visit their GP ‘when the going gets tough’. It is a campaign offering an immediate answer for the public about where to find that badly needed help. It's hard not to get a little choked up when you read this poem or see the advert. See the original advert here.

If circumstances make seeing your GP too hard an option there is always Lifeline 13 11 44(7 days, 24 hours) for counselling and support.

Lucky Number Seven

Seven years ago today Red Comb Designs officially opened for business! 

Yep, amazing isn't it! It's been a rewarding and enjoyable seven years which could
not have reached this vintage without the support from loyal clients, patience from
my suppliers and the love from my family. I'm incredibly lucky to be able to do what
I love each and every day.

So a big thanks to everyone that has contributed to keeping Red Comb Designs ticking
along these past seven years. Here's to many more years to come!

Colour Inspiration

 

 

 

 

My favourite!!

Whenever I'm lacking for inspiration in the colour department I need only visit the stunningly beautiful www.design-seeds.com. The site features incredible palettes of colour alongside beautiful imagery. A lovely place to spend 5 minutes over a cup of tea...

 

Happy Easter!

Recent Work

Medicare Local Roadshows (January-February 2012)
Medicare Locals are locally based organisations responsible for ensuring local primary health care services work together to meet the health needs of their local community. They will help patients to have access to the right treatment, in the right place at the right time.

The purpose of the first ‘Roadshow’ is to have a chat and get to know some our health service organisations, individuals and stakeholders in regional and rural areas. We would also like to use this opportunity to gather some preliminary information regarding After Hours priority areas and health service delivery from your perspective.

‘DDSWQ Medicare Local Roadshows’ will take place throughout 2012 and will be an ongoing mechanism for Medicare Local staff and the health community to engage and develop a process for sharing critical information.
