Popp Studio launches Lockdown Legends

With life in lockdown here in the UK and around the world, we’ve been thinking about the power of creativity and how we can harness it to show our support for key workers and each other. We also want to help parents keep children entertained whilst we’re all indoors, as well as encourage creativity in young people.

Our campaign “Lockdown Legends” celebrates the global effort on all fronts: the tireless workers in frontline services alongside the regular citizens supporting each other by committing to lockdown. We want to salute these people, who have given so much, often with great upheaval and sacrifice in their personal and professional lives.

Lockdown Legends is a series of poster and social media-post templates for adults and children that can be printed out at home and hung in windows, waved at “clap for carers”, or shared on social media with a nominated Legend’s username tagged as a post of thanks.

For grown-ups, we’ve created poster designs with different messages by Caroline’s Words. These include rallying cries like “Apart today, together tomorrow” and “Home is where the start is” as well as simple messages of thanks to our Legends, such as “You are key” and “You make the world go ‘round”.

For children, we’ve created a colouring-in canvas with a superhero-inspired logo by Rachel Joy Lettering. The empty frame is ready for drawings that celebrate different Lockdown Legends. Perhaps it’s a friend or relative who works in healthcare? Or someone from the community, like a postie or shopkeeper who has put themselves on the line to make our lives easier.

All of these are available as key-lines for colouring in, as pre-coloured templates that can be printed and hung straight away, or in social media formats for sharing online.
