Full Article:

The following article refers to a design project done for the discipline of Graphic Language, taught by Professor Carla Spinillo, for the Graphic Design Couse at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). In this work, the students should have formed teams and each team should have chosen a material related to the health area and propose a redesign for it. Thus, this team chose to work with medicine labels, more specifically in the area of injectables, due to the high rate of accidents caused by flaws in their configuration. This project aims to improve the quality and efficiency of these materials and reduce the number of fatalities caused by problems at the transmition of visual information. The project consists on researches about the topic of study, analysis of samples for the identification of problems, developing alternatives for redesign, validation with the audience and changes required.
