Abstract:
The study focused on using textile design as a communicating tool to curb the spread of COVID 19 in Ghana. The outcome of the result was discussed and analysed critically. The research was
based on the qualitative research approach and made use of the art studio experimental and
descriptive observational methods of research. The study revealed among others that, COVID-19
is global pandemic bedeviling many nations such as Ghana, however, the Ghana government has
instituted various measures to curtail the spread of the virus. Also, the Ghanaian government is
keen on enforcing preventive measures as a way of creating public awareness of the deadly nature
of the virus and the need to stop its spread to preserve lives. Again, the study revealed the need for
unique cloth prints to facilitate the education on the spread and curb of COVID-19 in Ghana. This
project will enable other institutions to adapt this unique cloth print as their official cloth to help
the mass production of this cloth sample for the education of the general public on the spread and
preventive measures in the fight against COVID-19 in Ghana. Further recommendation is made
for future research into exploring innovative cloth designs for solving other health issues
bedeviling the country. This is to help promote the use of textile design as a communicating tool
for educational purposes on health and other social issues.
