新澳门六合彩内幕信息launches 鈥楧ose of Gratitude鈥 campaign for health care workers

An interdisciplinary team of students and faculty from the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息School of Art and Art History, Zimmerman School of Advertising and Communications and the University of South Florida St. Petersburg Graphic Arts Program have launched the 鈥淒ose of Gratitude鈥 campaign.

Designs consist of animal species unique to the Florida landscape performing acts of gratitude. The first phase of the campaign features a flamingo surrounded by palm trees with the text, 鈥淐onsider yourself hugged.鈥 The variety of animals signifies the diverse roles in health care, such as doctors, nurses, paraprofessionals and more.

鈥淭he Graphic Arts Program incorporates community activism and social awareness into our curriculum,鈥 said Jennifer Yucus, co-chair of the Verbal & Visual Arts Department at 新澳门六合彩内幕信息St. Petersburg. 鈥淥ur students are no strangers to the fact that design has the power to do good. We are excited to have the opportunity to provide a moment of light during such a dark time.鈥

鈥淒ose of Gratitude鈥 signage can be found installed outside 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Health facilities, as well as Tampa General Hospital, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, James A. Haley Veterans鈥 Hospital and AdventHealth. It鈥檚 a gift to the community that illustrates the might of students and faculty working together across disciplines and campuses.

鈥淚f we can make a hospital worker smile and forget their worries for 20 seconds, that is our goal,鈥 Yucus said.

The creative team is comprised of 新澳门六合彩内幕信息animation students Maria Garcell, Amber Newman and Jack Siambanes, as well as 新澳门六合彩内幕信息graphic arts students Tessa Wilson, Alicia Boyd and Emily Butler. They are supported by Yucus, 新澳门六合彩内幕信息mass communications instructor Kevin Hawley, and 新澳门六合彩内幕信息animation faculty members K-J Mathieson and McArthur Freeman. All of the students involved in this project are graduating seniors.

Dose of Gratitude letter that says: "You鈥檝e probably waved hi. Perhaps in the morning when you were just heading out to work and she was just coming home. Blue scrubs. White shoes. Always a smile but also always kind of tired. And maybe these days, even though you鈥檙e working from home, you haven鈥檛 seen her that much. Neither has her family. She鈥檚 a 新澳门六合彩内幕信息healthcare worker. And while we stay safe at home, she and her colleagues are working every hour they send to battle this deadly virus and those its cursed hand has touched. Next time you happen to see her, make sure you add a thank you. You know her. She鈥檚 the hero next door. Thank you to all of our tireless healthcare workers from your friends and family and USF. Go Bulls."

"It's a great experience to not only connect with our university but show gratitude to our community for all the work they're doing in this difficult time,鈥 Boyd said.

Each week, the design team begins with research, reading news stories and social media posts about health care workers at the front line of the pandemic. They then brainstorm messaging, illustrate characters and craft typography, and send their files digitally to the animation students, who manipulate the images to create short videos for social media.

The team is also incorporating additional messages in the social media campaign. Hawley serves as the copywriter, creating the written content for more text-heavy graphics, such as those that offer a heartfelt 鈥渢hank you鈥 to health care workers.

鈥淒ose of Gratitude鈥 will run through the month of May.
