Especially right now, during flu season, germs and bacteria should be one of our top concerns. Most people know that they should wash their hands for twenty seconds with warm soap and water, but how many of us actually do? Hopefully, with this leaflet, young children will be taught at a young age to practice good hygiene, by “battling” germs. It is designed to drop down on elementary schools during a morning break or recess, hopefully a time before lunch. On one side of the leaflet, is a hand, being attacked by cartoon bacteria. The illustrated germs are similar to a cartoon and will attract the eye of a young audience. The main message “fight germs” is in bright red coloring to demand attention. On the other side, there is a picture of someone washing his/her hands. This is a simple demonstration that is easy to follow. Even someone who is not literate will be able to understand the central issue and lesson to be taught.
