Feature in Posters Can Help by Slanted / March 2023

My project "Up Close" is featured in “Posters Can Help” by Slanted publishers. With a global call, the Slanted team invited the design community to contribute with a piece of work and a donation. Almost 700 posters were submitted, which resulted in a colorful potpourri of posters, each one a compassionate outreach and act of charity—literally.

All the proceeds gained through the submissions have been donated to two selected organizations: ARTHELPS and MSF—Médecins Sans Frontières. Any profits beyond covering the costs of printing the book will also be donated to those organizations.

Slanted believes in the problem-solving power of design. They 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 today.
