Designers Try to Make Restaurant Choking Posters Hip. Oh Boy

Think about the typical choking first-aid poster in a restaurant. It offers clear instructions on how to dislodge food stuck in someone’s throat. The poster is large enough to be seen immediately; its words are legible; the how-to graphics are easy to follow and understand. It isn’t art. But aesthetics shouldn’t be a priority when you have to save someone from choking to death.
