The design of my flag revolves around the concept of social circles and bubbles, symbolizing the importance of adhering to social distancing measures. The flag serves as a poignant reminder to maintain physical distance and practice proper hand hygiene to curb the spread of the virus. Additionally, the inclusion of a small orange circle prompts individuals to prioritize mental well-being during these challenging times. While the colour palette drew inspiration from COVID-19 signage in Ireland, the infusion of warmer tones such as yellow and orange aims to create a more approachable visual.
