In today's session I finally finished off the werewolf leaflet that I had been working on in past weeks with varying degrees of success. The information is now all filled in including n the back that contains a fake QR code. There is a lot of text within this piece that establishes the rules and conventions of my alternate werewolf interpretation and creates the world's standing on this big issue. Here I have included a basic Q&A to answer most questions about how this werewolf virus works and have added diagrams to demonstrate symptoms and the different types of werewolves that can develop from this disease. The illustrations were designed to resemble modern medical illustrations that you find in real medical leaflets and posters to give an edge of realism to this fictional world. The blue colour scheme was inspired by the NHS's colour scheme which is also blue because it gives the leaflet a sense of calm, trust, and sophistication which you would want to feel when tackling such a huge pandemic.
What I really like about this leaflet is its realistic design that creates a sense of believability and suspends your disbelief just enough to let you get wrapped up in it's lore. Like how there is a sense of restriction in showing off the actual werewolf figure like there is some sensitivity to the subject like how people feel about real sufferers of often debilitating diseases. I also refer to often less talked about aspects of werewolf-ism like sexual contraction and even blood transfusions which would be common for other diseases like Aids or even things like chlamydia. I think if there is one thing I would like to change about this leaflet it would be the background as keep getting the feeling that they look too simple and often unprofessional. Plus you got the text on the Lycanthropy types page that looks way too small and is too close to the edges of the actual page.
