healthandsafety

So part of today was used to develop the ‘Health and Safety’ brand for the department of the same name within Te Wananga o Aotearoa. I used a cross with a maori twist not mad happy with the colours but the client loves them and its a huge step in the right direction from what they got me to do initially – which involved Yellow, Green and Blue! mmmm
