Matthew Darwish, a student at Rafik Hariri University, created the ultimate COVID-19 prevention kit as part of his Packaging Design class with professor Serene Srouji. The front of the kit’s packaging features playful illustrations reminiscent of bacteria found when looking through a microscope. The plague doctor mascot could be intimidating, but keeping the illustration on the smaller side helps make the logo feel less threatening and more accommodating. Overall, Matthew’s design is sleek and concise, just as a medical kit should be.
The COVID 19 pandemic has altered our lives substantially, and even after almost 2 years, the world still lacks a fully optimal COVID-19 safety kit. Therefore, I decided to create the first ultimate COVID-19 prevention kit – The Ductor, which contains: a disposable set of Nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer and alcoholic spray, a 100% cloth hypoallergenic face masks, keychain mask holder crafted in aluminum and disinfectant wipes. “Ductor” is a clever accent play on how Lebanese people pronounce “Doctor” since this product is locally made. Visually, I created a mascot illustration of an old-fashioned plague doctor.
