The Design

About Not Always Fun La Publicité Imprimée

La campagne publicitaire vise à sensibiliser au syndrome Harlequin. Il s’agit d’un syndrome affectant le système nerveux autonome et associé à l’absence de transpiration et de rougeurs cutanées d’un côté du visage. L'agence a développé des illustrations visuelles clés basées sur la juxtaposition des différentes représentations d'Arlequin visant à mettre en lumière la disparité entre la représentation comique du personnage et la réalité de vivre avec le syndrome d'Arlequin, en soulignant la nécessité d'une meilleure compréhension et sensibilisation à la condition.

Meticulously crafted illustration is all it is used to achieve the final result.
Design Challenge
The creative is a juxtaposition of the two opposing sides of Harlequin - one is the light-hearted comical character and the other is the serious medical condition. To integrate those sides of the same character yet different characteristics and not ironize or victimize people suffering from the syndrome was the most difficult part.
Research
The main research that was held was about the Harlequin syndrome itself and how rare diseases are addressed.
Inspiration
The key visual illustrations are based on the juxtaposition of the different representations of the word harlequin aiming to shed light on the disparity between the comical representation of the harlequin character and the reality of living with Harlequin syndrome, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and awareness of the condition.
