Posture at the Work Desk

In 2019, I developed the educational campaign Posture at the Work Desk for the Federal Prosecution Service of Brazil (MPF).

The project combined motion design and institutional communication to translate ergonomic guidance into clear and accessible visual content. I produced the animated video and supporting campaign materials used to promote healthier workplace habits across the institution.

The animation covers posture, workspace organization, equipment positioning and the importance of regular movement and breaks.

Key topics

Rest your forearms on the desk or chair armrests, keeping elbows at a 90° angle.
Keep your wrists straight and avoid using support underneath them.
Position your hips properly between the seat and the backrest.
Turn shoulders back and keep your spine straight.
Support your lower back against the chair’s backrest and avoid leaning forward.
Keep your feet flat on the floor, with knees bent between 90° and 100°.
Use a footrest if your feet don’t reach the floor.

Adjust your monitor height so your eyes align with the top third of the screen.
Close curtains if sunlight is too strong; turn on lights when it gets dark.
Adapt screen brightness to match ambient light.

Ensure your chair provides proper lumbar support.
Use a desk setup that allows natural arm and wrist alignment.
Position your monitor at eye level to reduce neck strain.

Take a short break every hour to change posture.
Use breaks to go to the restroom, drink water, eat a healthy snack, or stretch.
Remember: proper posture and regular breaks help prevent health problems.
Always follow your doctor’s recommendations and share these tips with others.
