Posters Can Help

Global dramas can lead us to question our own credibility and the significance of our own lives and/or actions. Recent events in Ukraine have led us, the Slanted team, to ask what our work is really for? Can we accelerate the transition to a sustainable, fair, and just society through the power of design?

With a global call, we invited the design community to contribute with a piece of work and a donation. 434 people from all over the world participated in this project and almost 700 posters were submitted. All the proceeds have been donated to two select organizations that we appreciate for their work: ARTHELPS and MSF—Médecins Sans Frontières.

We believe in the problem-solving power of design. We want to work every day towards a vision of the world that is sustainable, inclusive, equitable, and safe. This book is an effort to bring the global creative community together to take a small but valuable step towards solving the big problems of our time.
