How the artwork is built

A bold, stacked typography layout anchors the graphic with clean red and white lettering against your background. Flanking the top statement, two medical plus crosses frame the line “+ I'VE SEEN IT, +” in bright white capital letters. Beneath it, “SMELLED IT,” stands out in solid red block font, followed by “HEARD IT,” framed by a pair of neat red hearts. The phrase “TOUCHED IT,” introduces an open outlined letter style, while “STEPPED IN IT.” returns to sturdy white lettering. Across the bottom, a continuous red EKG rhythm tracing threads beneath the cursive script “I'm a” and above the large white block letters spelling “RETIRED NURSE”. This crisp clinical imagery brings classic medical humor together into one balanced print.
