Call for Bids: Graphic Design for a Front-of-Package (FoP) label study
Overview
The Reconciliation and Development Association (RADA) in coordination with its research partners, Resolve to save lives and the Ministry of Public Health, seeks a graphic designer or graphic design firm (hereafter referred to as, the designer) to develop images for use in our research study. The purpose of the study is to determine an effective front-of-package (FoP) label system to display on packaged foods in Cameroon which have unhealthy amounts of sodium, sugar, and saturated fat.
An effective FoP warning label in Cameroon would discourage the purchase of unhealthy foods and be easily understood by Cameroonians regardless of literacy level.
An example of an effective set of FoP warning labels in use in Chile as found below;
Note: a “set” of labels shares a common design but will include warnings for different nutrients
