Help the Red Cross

Help the Red Cross

Recruitment: Nursing

This poster has a simple color scheme of red and off-white. The words "Help the Red Cross" are written in capital letters and in a bold font across the top of the poster. Below the message is a nurse with her right arm raised, as if she is signaling for help. In her other arm is an injured soldier with a bandage wrapped around his head. The color scheme, facial expressions, and actions of the nurse all convey a message of urgency, as if to tell the viewer of the poster that they must jump in and help right away.
