‘What is life like with Long Covid?’

Illustrated Poster and Graphic Stories Series, 2023.

Imperial College London

Monique developed a poster on the impacts of Long Covid to answer the question ‘What is life like with Long Covid?’.

The poster was commissioned to link with a series of illustrated stories shared on Imperial College London’s social media pages as individual slides for each carousel and storyboard poster.

These stories were inspired by the defining Long Covid responses as well as the REACT-LC study interviews and cover the different areas of people’s life that might be impacted by their symptoms.

Graphic Stories can be viewed on Imperial’s website here
