Couple of brilliant conscientious design pieces at this years Brit Insurance Design of the Year Awards that caught my eye. First off…
Money to burn, The Zimbabwean Trillion Dollar Campaign, by TBWA (image above), using the virtually worthless Zimbabwean currency as the stock for its posters, in protest at Robert Mugabe’s governments economic policy.
Next is Kennard Phillipps brilliant Cafe of Equivalent$; “a lunch food stall selling food at cost equivocal to food affordability in the producing countries… “where” …soup and bread in Mozambique for a worker earning $2 a day costs 20 cents , 10%daily wage – applied to the average bonus-earning-banker soup and bread from our stall costs £111.20 ($181.67). This intervention is an attempt to create a transparency in an opaque world of money, making material the physical possibilities of using financial resources for need rather than profit.”
Absolutely amazing work, and if anyone has any more examples, please leave a comment.
