PSA Posters

PSA Posters Project

(modeled after the PSA posters we encountered at the Thackray Museum of Medicine in week one)

Explore a collection of student-designed PSA posters that translate complex healthcare topics into clear, engaging messages for public audiences. Each poster combines research, visual design, and purposeful communication to inform, persuade, and inspire action.
