Moxie Sozo, a nationally known design firm in Boulder,
Colorado is teaming up with
other designers and design firms around the country to create THE HURRICANE
POSTER PROJECT.
All poster designers please step up!
THE HURRICANE POSTER PROJECT seeks limited edition sets of
hurricane-related posters from
high-profile and up-and-coming artists, designers, and design firms from
around the United States
and abroad. The donated posters will be sold online, and all proceeds will
go directly to the Red
Cross.
As designers, we have the collective ability to do what we love, AND to
create a difference. THE
HURRICANE POSTER PROJECT has been conceived as a collective effort by the
design community to
unite and effect change through our work. In order for this project to be
successful, we are
counting on designer participation. Our goal is to raise at least
$1,000,000 for the Red Cross
through this project. Please spread the word. Please participate.
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Leif Steiner
at:
info@thehurricaneposterproject.com or 303-506-2320. We will have a website
and additional
information available shortly.
POSTER REQUIREMENTS:
- Posters should be specific to Hurricane Katrina or THE HURRICANE POSTER
PROJECT. Designers
are encouraged to make political and/or social statements about what just
happened regarding
Hurricane Katrina and our current political climate.
- Minimum size: 11 x 17" (This will enable students, and designers on a
tight budget to print
posters on a color laser printer) Ideal size: 18 x 24 or larger.
- The Posters should not be one-offs. The posters should be signed/numbered
editions. Quantities
of 25-100.
- Designers will be responsible for designing, printing, and delivering the
posters to THE
HURRICANE POSTER PROJECT. Although numerous printers have expressed
interest in helping us,
we simply don't have the human power to coordinate all of the printing
ourselves.
Fine print:
- Posters may include credits for vendors who have donated supplies or
services, but please keep
them small and unobtrusive. * All submissions will become property of THE
HURRICANE POSTER
PROJECT, and will be sold to raise funds for the AMERICAN RED CROSS
hurricane disaster relief
effort. Several posters from each donated set will be retained for possible
future exhibition or
publication.
- Designers may determine the selling price of their posters, but THE
HURRICANE POSTER PROJECT
reserves the right to change prices based on availability and demand.
- DEADLINE: This is an ongoing project that will continue to accept
submissions through the fall of
2005. Given the timeliness of the situation, we strongly encourage
designers to submit posters as
soon as possible.
Submissions may be mailed to:
