Hurricane Sandy relief floods in from college student’s T-Shirt graphic
It’s just crazy, Derek Koch says, “how a simple design, a simple graphic, and a couple of words…can really get people going.”
Koch should know. A graphic he created in a couple of hours in his apartment at the Whitney Center at Rowan University to support Jersey Shore victims of Hurricane Sandy has garnered worldwide attention—and led to an extraordinary chain of events that already has raised more than $300,000 thus far for relief efforts. The effort promises to raise much, much more.
NEXT: UK’s first student type foundry
UK’s first student type foundry is ‘font’ of knowledge
The University of Salford has created the country’s first repository to showcase unique, creative typefaces designed by students from Salford and across the UK.
Salford Type Foundry (STF) has been developed by the University’s Graphic Design students and lecturer Tim Isherwood to provide a home initially for Salford student fonts, with students designing and building the Foundry’s website at www.salfordtypefoundry.co.uk to promote their work to the creative industries and beyond.
Graphic designer to talk ‘social change’
Some call it design for the greater good. Others call it social design. Whatever you call it, its clear that an altruistic impulse is on the rise in the design community.
Designing for Social Change, is a compact, hands-on primer for graphic designers who want to use their unique problem-solving skills to help others. Author Andrew Shea presents ten proven strategies for working effectively with community organizations. These strategies can frame the design challenge and create a checklist to keep a project on track. Twenty case studies illustrate how design professionals and students approach unique challenges when working on a social agenda.
Pedro Paulino’s Portfolio
Pedro Paulino has a remarkable portfolio, particularly the work he’s done for the Ruaa bar & restaurant
Pedro plies his talents in Brazil. He majored in Industrial Design, product design specifically, but has an eternal love with graphic design, prints, branding and types.
