Silhouette cut-out display
Nurse
Nurse is a decorative silhouette face in black and white over a photograph of a nurse holding a red heart: each capital is a solid block with a medical figure cut out of it — a nurse with a stethoscope, a wheelchair, a heartbeat, a caduceus — with a white keyline around every letter.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Nurse.
The two words are stacked and the face is a picture alphabet: the counters and the negative space inside each letter are drawn as figures rather than as shapes, so the word reads as a set of icons at a glance and as letterforms at a second look. The white keyline is what keeps the black blocks separate against a photograph, and it is part of the design rather than a workaround. Because the figures carry the meaning, the face is a display cut for a specific subject, and the plate sets it large enough that each silhouette is recognisable. The red heart in the photograph repeats the only warm colour in the image, and the teal scrubs give the black something to sit against.

Poster for a clinic open day
A silhouette face names the profession in the letterforms themselves, which is faster to read at a hospital entrance than a plain headline.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the word at 110 mm cap height, the details in a 16 mm sans, and a 2 mm white keyline. Keep 30 mm margins and print two colours on a light stock with the figures reversed out.
Pre-production check
Check the poster at five metres, where a small figure can close to a dot; keep the cut-outs above 6 mm. Confirm the 16 mm details read at three metres and that the keyline stays even.
Sign for a nursing course
A themed display marks a training room instantly, and the block letters stay legible on a door where a script would not read at a glance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 400 by 250 mm plate: the course at 50 mm cap height, the room in a 12 mm sans, and a 1.5 mm keyline. Keep 18 mm margins and laminate for a corridor that is cleaned daily.
Pre-production check
Check the plate at three metres, where the thin cuts can fill with ink; keep them above 2 mm. Confirm the 12 mm room reads at arm's length and that the laminate does not yellow.
Shirt graphic for a graduation
A silhouette face marks the profession on a gift shirt, and the solid blocks print in one screen without registration problems.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 mm chest graphic: the word at 60 mm cap height, the year at 30 mm, and one ink on a light shirt. Keep the smallest cut at 4 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 4 mm cut can fill; thicken the keyline. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the figures stay open after five cycles.
