Liberian artists create Ebola awareness posters

Ebola Outbreak

Three Liberian artists, working at the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), are making posters to raise awareness about Ebola and its prevention. CCTV America’s Katerina Vittozzi reports.

Artists, Duke, Frank and Leslie are given a script that outlines what messages and information every poster should have. The artists create sketches that are then scanned and edited in Photoshop.

Flexibility is crucial. As the epidemic develops so do the public health messages.

Posters are just one weapon in the fight against Ebola. UNICEF also developed songs and short radio dramas.
