The poster introduces the SADeaf Video Relay Service (VRS), which enables Deaf individuals to make phone calls via a sign language interpreter. The design features a smiling interpreter wearing a headset, seated at a computer. Key uses of VRS are highlighted with icons, including scheduling hospital appointments, contacting banks, businesses, and government services such as CPF, IRAS, and MSF. A QR code and the SADeaf website URL (sadeaf.org.sg/vrs) are displayed at the bottom for registration, calling VRS, or providing feedback. The colour scheme uses shades of purple and blue with white text.
