Logo


Logo Test 1

Because My campaign is about helping with a pram. I wanted it to be a few hands and a pram in it. This is the first test I came up with . 


              

Logo Test 2

In this logo I have designed to make it more of a circle type of logo with the slogan on the top. 



Logo Test 3

This one is similar to the one above but I decided to try the name on the bottom. 

Stairs




Selhurst Station 


This is a picture I have taken at the station just to show what a person travelling with a pram would have to go through. There are no guards at the station so everyone is responsible for managing by themselves getting up and down the steps.

I carried a pram all the way up these stairs and it was not easy. Therefore for a mother to do it by herself is not safe or wouldn't be something I recommend.  

RSA Fonts


Types of Fonts


Here are few fonts I have selected to experiment with for my RSA project. Because I am doing a campaign it is very important I pick the correct font. Because different types of people will be viewing the material that will be designed for both young and old. 

How I came up with the name for the campaign, Help In Hand, was the clear message it sends out. It has a dual meaning; help that is around us and handy when needed but also emphasises the concept of a helping hand.

Lifts and Ramps Plan

Access for All

A major programme improving accessibility at train stations nationwide by installing lifts and ramps.



Station All Access Plans 

Step-free stations offer accessible routes from entrance to platform. Step-free access not only benefits disabled people or those with reduced mobility, but also people with children, heavy luggage or shopping, and some more elderly people.

Using the railway reduces congestion on the roads and aids economic regeneration by giving easy access to job markets.

Occasionally local authority planning issues, heritage matters and other schemes can delay the start date of some accessibility improvement work. Whilst this is out of our control, we understand the frustration this can bring and work tirelessly with our partners to resolve things as quickly as possible, keeping local communities, councillors and MPs up to date.

Access for All is a £370m upgrade programme improving accessibility by introducing lifts and ramps at train stations nationwide

I came across this page while I was researching for plans to improve stations that don't have access to aim passengers that needs it. This is a wonderful plan if they stick to the whole idea.
My question would be would about people that need help right now how would they improve this? 
They have a page that shows all the station that have access, getting access in the near future and ones that are being worked on now.
