Some ideas are designed to move products.<br />

Others are designed to move people.<br />

Welcome once again to <strong>Sappi</strong> <strong>Ideas</strong> <strong>that</strong> <strong>Matter</strong>, a celebration of ideas <strong>that</strong> are not only contrived to ‘do well’, but<br />

strive to ‘do good’.<br />

As a leading global producer of coated fine paper, <strong>Sappi</strong> believes in the power of ideas to move people. Every year<br />

since 1999, when we first launched the <strong>Sappi</strong> <strong>Ideas</strong> <strong>that</strong> <strong>Matter</strong> initiative, we have discovered <strong>that</strong> there are many<br />

people around the world who share our belief; designers who, guided by conscience and a desire to help others,<br />

have focused their talent on developing work <strong>that</strong> motivates others to create a better world.<br />

Every year, in each region, a selection panel comprising design industry luminaries is invited to consider the merits<br />

of their work, both from a design perspective and its potential power to generate a response from the public.<br />

For those campaigns <strong>that</strong> stand up to the panel’s scrutiny, the reward is a share of the US$1 million <strong>that</strong> <strong>Sappi</strong> makes<br />

available every year. Grants vary in size depending on the scope of the campaigns, with the money being used to<br />

produce the campaigns as specified by the designers.<br />

In this book you will find the creative work <strong>that</strong> was selected in 2006; proof <strong>that</strong> the desire and ability to move people<br />

is alive and well.<br />

We hope <strong>that</strong> everyone who contributed this year will be moved to do so again next year. We also hope <strong>that</strong> you,<br />

after reading these stories of adversity and triumph, will be moved to participate in <strong>Ideas</strong> <strong>that</strong> <strong>Matter</strong> next year, too.<br />

Gomolemo<br />

Gomolemo Clean Environment<br />

Gomolemo Clean Environment (GCE) is a nongovernmental<br />

environmental organisation in the North<br />

West of South Africa <strong>that</strong> works with government<br />

departments and other stakeholders to help people help<br />

the environment, and in so doing, help themselves.<br />

But it was the specific focus on food gardening <strong>that</strong><br />

attracted the attention of a group of students at North<br />

West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa. Elisma<br />

Groenewald (designer, art director and copywriter),<br />

Irmgard Putter (designer, production manager and<br />

copywriter), Corlia Lombard (strategist, designer<br />

and client service executive) and Mike Cruywagen<br />

(illustrator, designer and copywriter) all agreed <strong>that</strong><br />

this was something different. With a keen interest in<br />

recycling and the maintenance of a clean environment,<br />

they chose to apply their combined creative muscle<br />

to Gomolemo’s cause.<br />

them to donate either money or equipment. Secondly, the<br />

calendars were distributed door-to-door in the Sarafina<br />

area by members of Gomolemo, in an effort to make<br />

them aware of the critical nature of environmental matters<br />

to everyday life, and the benefits of vegetable gardening.<br />

The response was felt primarily at the workshops held<br />

by volunteers at the Gomolemo Clean Environment for<br />

the people of Ikageng, who turned up in ever-increasing<br />

numbers to find out how to create and maintain their<br />

own vegetable gardens.<br />

The team from North West University see a long<br />

road together with Gomolemo, and have committed<br />

themselves to ensuring the sustainability of the charity<br />

by helping to create jobs for the future.<br />

The calendar they created had a two-fold focus. Firstly,<br />

it appealed to prominent companies in the North West<br />

region, challenging them to consider their stance<br />

towards a clean and healthy environment and inviting

Straight Edge – Guns Don’t Give<br />

Gun Free South Africa<br />

10<br />

Since 1994, Gun Free South Africa (GFSA) has worked<br />

tirelessly to build safer communities by reducing the<br />

amount of guns in circulation. In 2004, a decade of<br />

hard work paid off and a new Firearms Control Act was<br />

passed. But while it brought GFSA one step closer to<br />

their vision of a gun-free South Africa, there was clearly<br />

much work to be done.<br />

The alarming level of gun ownership, particularly<br />

amongst the youth, was not lost on a group of students<br />

at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in<br />

Cape Town. Designers Adam Samuel and Tracy Gerber,<br />

strategic planner Leselle Bester and writer Meghan<br />

Lötter were all aware of the rising levels of gang culture<br />

and gun violence on Cape Town’s Cape Flats, and<br />

resolved to do something about it.<br />

The campaign they devised communicated a simple<br />

message: Life is short and guns don’t give, they<br />

take away. Targeted at schoolchildren at Cape Flats<br />

schools, a mail pack informed them of the dangers<br />

of guns and gun violence and suggested what could<br />

be done to address the problem. ‘Ammunition’ in the<br />

packs gave the pupils the tools they need to fi ght<br />

back against gun violence, reclaim their freedom, and<br />

take their best shot at claiming their rightful place in<br />

a brighter, gun-free future.<br />

Consisting of packs and posters in schools, as well as<br />

mobile media in the form of tattoos, the campaign was<br />

intended to reach parents as well, encouraging them<br />

to attend a GFSA workshop <strong>that</strong> showed them how to<br />

create gun-free zones, unite against the insidious gun<br />

culture and change the perception of guns held by<br />

their children.<br />

While the campaign had not been exposed at the time<br />

of judging, it was agreed by the judges <strong>that</strong> such a<br />

single-minded and powerful campaign would certainly<br />

have an enormous impact.

Imibala Sponsor a Child<br />

Imibala<br />

In the beautiful Helderberg basin near Cape Town,<br />

South Africa, many parents cannot afford to pay the<br />

school fees or buy the school uniforms <strong>that</strong> would give<br />

their children access to an education. Appealing to<br />

both local and international donors, Imibala’s ‘Sponsor<br />

a Child’ campaign is able to pay fees and clothe a<br />

schoolchild for just ZAR600 (under US$100) a year.<br />

Designer and photographer Christine Meintjes<br />

of Christine Meintjes Design & Photography in<br />

Stellenbosch, South Africa, saw in Imibala an<br />

organisation <strong>that</strong> was playing a vital role in the<br />

upliftment of the previously disadvantaged, and<br />

contributing in a tangible way to the future of this<br />

country. After visiting the Imibala-run art centre (where<br />

children from underprivileged communities receive free<br />

arts and craft training) she knew she had to extend<br />

her services as a graphic designer and photographer<br />

to Imibala, if only to create an awareness of the<br />

miraculous job they are doing in the community and<br />

to give people the opportunity to ‘Sponsor a Child’.<br />

Visits to the centre also helped her formulate a concept;<br />

art was a way in which children could literally learn the<br />

skills to help them fulfil the Imibala slogan of ‘turning<br />

grey todays into colourful tomorrows’. She chose to fill<br />

her material with childlike figures, creating the appeal<br />

and naivety of youth.<br />

‘The feeling <strong>that</strong> one is left with is <strong>that</strong> unhappiness is<br />

grey and dull, such as the unhappy faces in my work,<br />

but the bright colours are brought by Imibala as they<br />

change children’s lives,’ says Christine.<br />

The campaign has proved an inspiration to children<br />

and Imibala staff alike. And while it’s still too soon to<br />

quantify the effect of the campaign, the future for the<br />

organisation must surely be as bright and colourful as<br />

Christine’s work.<br />

My Eyes Are Used to Help Someone<br />

South African Guide Dogs Association<br />

18<br />

As a young girl, Cherece-Lara Wolf belonged to the<br />

Junior Guide Dogs club. Her fascination with the way<br />

in which puppies are trained to be someone else’s eyes<br />

stayed with her over the years, as did her amazement at<br />

how visually impaired people could adapt their handicap<br />

to lead a normal and independent life.<br />

Now a third-year graphic design student at Inscape<br />

Design College in Roodepoort, South Africa, Cherece-<br />

Lara soon saw a way in which her passion and her<br />

training could come together to assist an organisation<br />

<strong>that</strong> provides such a critical lifeline for the visually<br />

impaired.<br />

Founded in 1953 by Gladys Evans, the South African<br />

Guide Dogs Association (SAGA) for the blind is<br />

fully dependent on fund raising, donations, sales of<br />

Christmas cards, collections and the generosity of the<br />

public. SAGA is a founder member of the international<br />

federation of Guide Dog Schools for the blind of which<br />

there are 71 schools in 29 countries. With the training<br />

of each guide dog costing more than ZAR7,500 (over<br />

US$1,000) and taking 18 months to complete, her help<br />

was more than welcome.<br />

With the goal of raising both awareness and money<br />

for the organisation, Cherece-Lara developed a printed<br />

magazine insert consisting of two pages. On the first<br />

page, a guide dog with ‘My eyes are used to help<br />

someone’ written in Braille was featured. On the second<br />

page, a donation form appeared alongside the visual<br />

of the dog and the same text in Braille.<br />

Due to appear in Cosmopolitan magazine (with a<br />

circulation of 145,000 copies and a readership of more<br />

than 758,000) Cherece-Lara’s endearing communication<br />

will no doubt open readers’ eyes to the plight of the<br />

visually impaired, and hopefully open their pockets too.

Build Your Team, Build Our Dream<br />

Zip Zap Circus School<br />

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, the Zip Zap Circus<br />

School is a unique organisation <strong>that</strong> uses the magical<br />

yet challenging medium of circus arts training and<br />

performance for the purpose of educational outreach<br />

and youth development. To enable them to offer this<br />

training free of charge, they also offer skilled riggers<br />

and stunt performers for corporate clients and the<br />

film industry.<br />

Cheri Kroeger and Justin Soodyall (designers), Giselle<br />

Kroeger (paper mechanic and copywriter) and Bradley<br />

Urion (paper mechanic) of the Cape Peninsula University<br />

of Technology in South Africa all felt very strongly about<br />

their cause and, after spending some time in the circus<br />

school environment, felt a strong connection with the<br />

organisation.<br />

‘The organisation has such a positive outlook on life,<br />

and really put all their efforts into making Zip Zap<br />

successful in the sense of enriching children’s lives,’<br />

they enthused.<br />

They decided to start with the most pressing need of the<br />

organisation: the need for their own permanent home.<br />

An interactive pop-up book was designed to appeal<br />

to large corporations as well as people in the building<br />

industry, giving them an overview of what Zip Zap is<br />

about, and an idea of the proposed building. In the back<br />

of the book a pledge form invites the reader to choose<br />

between donating funds, or donating building materials<br />

for the new home. Once they send the form back to<br />

Zip Zap, a poster is mailed back, inviting them to a free<br />

teambuilding session for their company at the Zip Zap<br />

Circus School.<br />

In this way, the team from the Cape Peninsula University<br />

of Technology arrived at a magical win-win concept; the<br />

donors help Zip Zap build their dream, and in turn, Zip<br />

Zap helps them build their team.<br />

Alzheimer<br />

Alzheimer Forschung Initiative eV<br />

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease can be alarming.<br />

As a disease <strong>that</strong> affects the brain and brings on<br />

dementia, sufferers can feel restless and moody, or<br />

have difficulty remembering, speaking, learning, making<br />

judgments and planning.<br />

The Alzheimer Research Initiative (AFI) is a non-profit<br />

association which was created in 1995 to provide muchneeded<br />

funding for Alzheimer research, and educates<br />

the public regarding the nature of Alzheimers.<br />

Seonmee Kong and Youngju Cha, design students at<br />

Fachhochschule Düsseldorf (the University of Applied<br />

Sciences Düsseldorf) in Germany, were moved by<br />

the helplessness experienced by sufferers, the sense<br />

of futility of living with an incurable disease such as<br />

Alzheimers, as well as the impact the disease can have<br />

on family members and caregivers.<br />

shoes in the refrigerator, letters in the toaster and<br />

dentures in a goldfish bowl; all seemingly innocent and<br />

funny, but frustrating for those who must deal with these<br />

images as a daily reality. It is only when one imagines the<br />

consequence of these images <strong>that</strong> one can understand<br />

the dangers of living with Alzheimer’s Disease.<br />

Powerfully presented in press, on posters in more<br />

than 1,000 locations and through a series of popular<br />

postcards, the campaign had an enormous impact, with<br />

several mentions on local radio stations. The proof of<br />

the impact of the campaign comes from AFI themselves,<br />

who have experienced an exponential increase in mail<br />

and telephone interest in the organisation whenever the<br />

campaign is exposed.<br />

26<br />

To generate an understanding of the frustrating world<br />

in which sufferers live, they developed a campaign <strong>that</strong><br />

portrayed situations <strong>that</strong> seem humorous, but are very<br />

real for Alzheimer’s sufferers. Toothpaste on a sausage,

Essay About the Relativity of Blindness<br />

Amnistía Internacional<br />

30<br />

In order for the abuse of human rights to exist or to<br />

continue, it must remain hidden. Often perpetuated<br />

out of the public eye, always hidden by those with<br />

the power to do so, the most powerful tool in the fight<br />

against human rights violations is exposure. And <strong>that</strong>’s<br />

just what this innovative campaign does, in the most<br />

literal way.<br />

Before your very eyes, violations you never knew existed<br />

make themselves visible; everyday occurrences <strong>that</strong><br />

take place in all corners of the world, to many people.<br />

The technique developed by Noé Mendoza Cuevas,<br />

Art Director and designer at Señor Piruleta in Madrid,<br />

involves printing on card with thermocromatic ink, <strong>that</strong><br />

reveals itself when temperatures change, presenting<br />

the reader with yet another frightening occurrence <strong>that</strong><br />

Amnesty International (AI) fights every day to abolish.<br />

With a network of more than 1.8 million members,<br />

supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries<br />

and territories in every region of the world, AI is held<br />

together by dedicated individuals committed to a vision<br />

of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human<br />

rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human<br />

Rights and other international human rights standards.<br />

A long-time AI devotee, Noé’s remarkable campaign<br />

is the culmination of years of collaboration on AI’s<br />

advertising and promotion in Spain. And thanks to his<br />

deep understanding of the organisation, he was able to<br />

identify the symbol of the candle as key to their mission,<br />

he says.<br />

“The candle needs people who want to light it, who<br />

want to continue to shed light on violations, to enable<br />

them to be investigated, to denounce them and bring<br />

them to an end.”<br />

With no fewer than 5,000 mailings, and a response rate<br />

of 2.15% resulting in an impressive €20,000 in funding,<br />

<strong>that</strong>’s a lot of people lighting a lot of candles.

Beyond Clichés (Au-delà des Idées Reçues)<br />

Association Emmaüs<br />

Established by the legendary Abbé Pierre during<br />

a bitterly cold Parisian winter in 1954, Association<br />

Emmaüs assists homeless people by helping them<br />

assert their right to health, education, employment and<br />

housing. To help achieve this, Association Emmaüs has<br />

launched a number of welcome centres, emergency<br />

shelters and social housing programmes over the years.<br />

Since 2000, they have benefited from the help of a<br />

dedicated group of individuals at Nous Travaillons<br />

Ensemble (NTE), a Paris design agency with clients<br />

including municipalities and institutions, as well as a<br />

number of humanitarian and educational organisations.<br />

For designers Valérie Debure, Isabelle Jégo, Alex<br />

Jordan, Ebdie Cavel, Sébastien Courtois and Ronit<br />

Meirovitz, this co-operation has been successful as<br />

a result of a shared vision on philosophy and design;<br />

how to communicate the work of the association and<br />

how to address the misconceptions <strong>that</strong> people have<br />

of the homeless.<br />

This shared vision resulted in a campaign awarded by<br />

<strong>Ideas</strong> <strong>that</strong> <strong>Matter</strong> in 2003 and an exhibition in 2006. But<br />

it is to the topic of addressing misconceptions <strong>that</strong> they<br />

have returned for their latest campaign.<br />

Said the designers, “Our goal was to present the clichés<br />

surrounding the homeless through an exhibition of<br />

posters. The prevailing mood is quite provocative, the<br />

way clichés generally are. This is intended to provoke<br />

discussions among a large target group, and to be<br />

educational, lively and legible from a distance.”<br />

They placed their challenging posters in metro stations<br />

and in schools, cards in schools and public places. They<br />

arranged meetings in many high schools and multimedia<br />

libraries, and facilitated discussions and debates<br />

with people and students. At all events, the exhibition<br />

of posters provided a point of departure for talking<br />

about homeless people, their lack of job security and<br />

assistance, as well as how to finance social assistance.<br />

Lost and Found in Action<br />

British Heart Foundation<br />

38<br />

Every year, thousands of people die prematurely from<br />

heart disease. For those who survive, the daily battle<br />

has just begun.<br />

The British Heart Foundation is committed to preventing<br />

people’s lives being devastated by heart disease. They<br />

fund pioneering research, care for patients and their<br />

families, and provide vital information to help people<br />

understand the causes of heart disease, how it can be<br />

avoided and what treatments are available.<br />

Aware <strong>that</strong> the average age of students at Southampton<br />

Solent University was between 18 and 22, and <strong>that</strong><br />

young people tend to be reckless with their health<br />

(particularly their hearts), lecturer Steve Lannin,<br />

(Creative Direction, Copy and Planning), and students<br />

Paul Jones (Design, Typography and Photography)<br />

and Darren Whitney (Illustration), working closely with<br />

Julian Temblett and Mandi Simms of the British Heart<br />

Foundation, took up the challenge.<br />

Rather than lecture on the dangers of high fat foods<br />

and smoking, they decided to target students with<br />

a campaign about how good it is to buy from charity<br />

shops, in particular the British Heart Foundation. If they<br />

drop by and pick up a ‘worn in’ jacket, they reckoned,<br />

students might also pick up a leaflet about heart disease<br />

when they visit.<br />

So they geared their concept towards the ‘charity<br />

shop’ aesthetic; the rough and ready ‘distressed’ look,<br />

individuality, teamwork and concern for the environment.<br />

Appearing in book, poster and postcard form, the<br />

campaign spread to barber shops, garages, pubs<br />

and clubs where young men meet, as well as broader<br />

posters and signage across Hampshire.<br />

The response to the material was overwhelmingly<br />

positive, with some outlets noticing a sizeable increase<br />

in the number of young people visiting the charity<br />

shops. In the ultimate tribute to the team, the iconic<br />

posters even became sought after collectables in their<br />

own right.

How Long Are You Still Going to Wait?<br />

EMMA Institute<br />

42<br />

In Slovenia, everyone knows someone who is a victim<br />

of violence. But, due to the social taboo of the subject<br />

– and to avoid trouble and the risk of ‘getting involved’<br />

– most prefer to look the other way and ignore it.<br />

Matija Ošlak, Eva Barbori, Blaž Ritmani and Tomaž Cör,<br />

a team of designers and writers at Formitas, a member<br />

of BBDO International in Ljubljana, Slovenia, chose not<br />

to look the other way.<br />

Instead, they chose to get very involved, putting their<br />

time and considerable effort behind EMMA, an NGO<br />

<strong>that</strong> helps children and women, who were – or still are<br />

– victims of violence.<br />

Realising <strong>that</strong> the key challenge in lifting the lid off<br />

abuse was simply breaking the silence, they developed<br />

an arresting piece of work: a flyer in form of an arm.<br />

Distributed in areas where possible victims of violence<br />

or possible witnesses of violence could see it, the arm is<br />

what they called a ‘bruise-tester’. Based on the bruises<br />

<strong>that</strong> are the tell-tale signs of abuse, the ‘bruise-tester’ is<br />

a way of challenging victims or witnesses of violence not<br />

to wait too long before telling somebody about it.<br />

An astonishing 100,000 ‘arm-flyers’ were distributed.<br />

In public schools (hanging from wardrobe hooks in<br />

closets), in public buses (hung over hand rails), at<br />

apartments (hung over front door handles), the ‘armflyers’<br />

became ubiquitous in Koper, Ljubljana, Celje,<br />

Maribor and Murska Sobota, the five main metropolitan<br />

hubs of Slovenia, and the centres where most victims<br />

and witnesses could be reached.<br />

After a wave of publicity from all the daily newspapers<br />

in Slovenia, a breakthrough – and the ultimate<br />

acknowledgement of the problem. In an audience<br />

with the mayor of Ljubljana, Danica Simši, the creative<br />

team and the directors of the EMMA organisation were<br />

promised support for their efforts to assist the victims of<br />

violence, and to encourage witnesses to come forward.

TIR: Teatri in Rivoluzione<br />

Handicap&Arte<br />

Not many would imagine <strong>that</strong> the handicapped and<br />

the stage would be a suitable combination. Yet it is<br />

for exactly this reason <strong>that</strong> Handicap&Arte in Italy<br />

developed their revolutionary theatre programme.<br />

Active in the field of integrated social theatre activity<br />

since 1998, Handicap&Arte Italy holds annual<br />

workshops, seminars and conferences to help the<br />

disabled go beyond their limits, promoting equality<br />

of integration for the sake of diversity, and enhancing<br />

the creative potential of disabled people through<br />

performances on stage.<br />

In an effort to transform the subculture <strong>that</strong> goes against<br />

the handicapped and to turn it into a culture of diversity,<br />

they produced a campaign consisting of a series of<br />

posters showing able and disabled people together in<br />

highly emotional situations.<br />

The headlines asked the question “Who is the richest?<br />

Who is the poorest?” The embarrassment of showing<br />

the handicap gives way to the certainty <strong>that</strong> mixing with<br />

‘differently able’ people means to enrich the human<br />

condition, to promote an exchange of ideas, and to<br />

encourage contributions to the organisation.<br />

44<br />

Designers Monica Zaffini and Massimiliano Patrignani<br />

and copywriter Noemi Rinolfi at ma:design in Pesaro,<br />

Italy, felt very strongly about reversing the negative<br />

attitude <strong>that</strong> generally accompanies the public<br />

perception of the handicapped. They also felt they<br />

could communicate Handicap&Arte’s belief <strong>that</strong> the<br />

limits of the disabled are resources for the arts and <strong>that</strong><br />

the arts are a resource to help the disabled to overcome<br />

their limits.<br />

This was followed up with flyers, books, conferences<br />

and workshops, at which lively debate and a gradual<br />

changing of attitudes were evidence of the success<br />

of the campaign.

Offside<br />

in-kick.org<br />

48<br />

The youth, the homeless, the unemployed, drug addicts<br />

and alcoholics. Each one a star striker, defender or<br />

goalkeeper in the making, with a sense of purpose and a<br />

bright future. This is the mission of in-kick.org, a project<br />

of Switzerland Sports Integration <strong>that</strong> takes those<br />

marginalised by society and reintegrates them through<br />

exposure to the beautiful game.<br />

It’s certainly an innovative approach, and one which<br />

attracted the attention of Claudia Klat and Dominique<br />

Berrel, students in graphics and media design at<br />

the F+F School for Art and Media Design in Zürich,<br />

Switzerland.<br />

But the activities of in-kick.org are so much more<br />

serious than simply offering the homeless a distraction<br />

to keep them off the streets. Every year, in-kick.org<br />

organises the Homeless Swiss Championship, and<br />

recruits 16 star players for the Swiss Homeless<br />

National Team, and eight players to compete at the<br />

Homeless World Cup.<br />

So, last year, Claudia and Dominique designed ‘Offside’;<br />

a book publicising the organisation, which took the<br />

form of a diary of the Swiss Homeless national team’s<br />

preparation for the Homeless World Cup.<br />

Training sessions and qualification tournaments were<br />

presented as pages from a journal. The first few pages<br />

of the book display participating teams in the style of<br />

football stickers. For 18 chapters, the book moves to<br />

a thrilling conclusion; the 2006 Homeless World Cup in<br />

Cape Town, South Africa.<br />

Team posters complete the collateral, contributing<br />

further towards building the self-esteem of the players,<br />

and made available for sale in bookstores in Germany,<br />

Austria and Switzerland and sold in the streets of Zürich,<br />

Bern and Basel by the vendors of Surprise, the Swiss<br />

Homeless newspaper.<br />

Described as one of the ‘most beautiful Swiss books<br />

of 2006’, Offside is ‘a dynamic, lively arrangement<br />

of colour photographs and informative texts <strong>that</strong> ...<br />

convinces with its coherent visual implementation.<br />

A committed book about an unconventional and<br />

remarkable event.’ Surely the Swiss will never look<br />

at the homeless or footballers in the same way again.

The World Needs Midwives – Now More Than Ever!<br />

International Confederation of Midwives<br />

52<br />

Every year, more than 500,000 women die during<br />

pregnancy and birth. Most of these tragedies could be<br />

avoided if governments invested in efficient health care<br />

systems with qualified and skilled providers. In fact, it<br />

has been shown in many countries <strong>that</strong> investment in<br />

a strong midwifery profession can lead to a significant<br />

reduction of maternal deaths, prompting The World<br />

Health Report in 2006 to stress the need for a greater<br />

midwifery capacity in the world.<br />

The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) is a<br />

not-for-profit international organisation <strong>that</strong> represents<br />

midwives and the midwifery profession, and aims to<br />

improve the care available to mothers and newborns<br />

throughout the world.<br />

Graphic designers Marije Fransen and Marieke Dona<br />

of MaMa design in Veldhoven and Tilburg in the<br />

Netherlands agreed with ICM <strong>that</strong> branding in the form<br />

of an updated corporate identity was an important first<br />

step to creating a positive image for the organisation<br />

and to inform others outside the traditional circles<br />

of partners and collaborating organisations of the<br />

important work of the organisation.<br />

They proposed a logo showing ICM’s vision of the<br />

continuum of care provided universally by midwives.<br />

This includes the three most important phases in and<br />

around birth: pregnancy, birth itself, and postpartum<br />

care. They designed attractive and informative flyers,<br />

and posters highlighting the many activities of the ICM,<br />

as well as foldable, adhesive printed flyers in the shape<br />

of stethoscope with contact details of midwives <strong>that</strong><br />

pregnant mothers could access.<br />

The enthusiastic reception <strong>that</strong> the campaign has<br />

received is a clear indication <strong>that</strong> the new image for<br />

ICM will help them fulfil their goal of strengthening the<br />

midwifery profession to provide the best care for mothers<br />

and babies throughout the world, thus reducing the<br />

tragedy of death and disability related to childbearing.

Covering Reality (Das Unsichtbare Wahrnehmen)<br />

Kinderschutz-Zentrum Linz<br />

56<br />

Child abuse most often happens within the family and<br />

behind closed doors, taking the form of negligence,<br />

physical maltreatment and sexual abuse. In Linz,<br />

Austria, there is a centre <strong>that</strong> has committed employees<br />

and effective strategies to both prevent and treat the<br />

aftermath of child abuse. But it is not well known, and<br />

has limited funds for the purpose of reaching those<br />

in need.<br />

Now 20 years old, the Kinderschutz-Zentrum Linz<br />

(Child Abuse Prevention Centre, Linz) has worked<br />

tirelessly to create a violence-free environment for<br />

children, teenagers and their families, offering free<br />

counselling and therapy at the centre. In addition to<br />

counselling, the centre does what it can to educate<br />

the people of Linz about issues of abuse in an effort<br />

to prevent problems occurring.<br />

Realising the desperation of the centre’s situation,<br />

designers Christoph Kerschner and Walter Stromberger,<br />

together with writer Norbert Tomasi of Kest: strategie,<br />

kommunikation, design, approached the centre’s<br />

director Barbara Künschner with an audacious plan.<br />

They found Barbara to be open minded and the plan<br />

became a reality. To illustrate the ‘cover-up’ (the hidden<br />

nature of abuse and the unwillingness of the public to<br />

acknowledge it) they covered the city centre of Linz in<br />

pink paper; cars, public objects, shop windows, clothes,<br />

coats and books in stores, all were wrapped in pink.<br />

This was supported with posters, flyers and brochures,<br />

focusing attention on child abuse and the role the centre<br />

could play in both preventing and treating it.<br />

“For once, the public could not close their eyes to<br />

the reality. No-one could ignore the campaign or the<br />

subject,” enthused the team.<br />

From a press conference to coverage in local<br />

newspapers, on radio stations and TV channels, a<br />

professional Public Relations agency supported the<br />

campaign. The end result: dramatically increased<br />

awareness of the centre, which is now regularly<br />

contacted by local media for interviews and comment<br />

on abuse related issues.

In the Name of Africa. Words That Help<br />

Medici con l’Africa CUAMM<br />

In Africa, in this age of universal healthcare, women still<br />

die in childbirth, unable to get to a hospital because it is<br />

too far or too expensive. For those who believe in public<br />

heath care, development and human rights, this is an<br />

untenable situation.<br />

Doctors with Africa CUAMM is an organisation which<br />

works to develop respect for the fundamental human<br />

right to health, and to ensure <strong>that</strong> healthcare services<br />

are available to everyone. Founded in 1950 with the aim<br />

of training doctors to work in developing countries under<br />

the name of CUAMM (University College for Aspiring<br />

Missionary Doctors), it has over the years chosen to<br />

focus its work on the African continent, hence the name<br />

‘Doctors with Africa’.<br />

In partnership with their client, they selected words<br />

– such as Equity, Rights, Health, Service, Maternity,<br />

Motivation and Infancy – which express this profound<br />

connection and a story of service. In this way, they have<br />

used the power of words to reverse the commonplace<br />

perception of public service campaigns and the demand<br />

‘give me facts not words’.<br />

Using materials <strong>that</strong> are familiar to the medical<br />

profession, such as gauze and medicine boxes, they<br />

have developed a powerful campaign <strong>that</strong> will awaken<br />

people to the plight of people in Africa, and give them<br />

a sense of the essential co-operation <strong>that</strong> brings real<br />

empathy and change.<br />

60<br />

For Laura Morandini, Susi Grion, Daniele Varelli at CDM<br />

Associates in Udine, Italy, the title ‘Doctors with Africa’<br />

was significant. They wanted to emphasise the meaning<br />

of ‘with Africa’ as opposed to ‘for Africa’, and the way<br />

in which it expresses profound participation in the<br />

problems experienced in Africa.

Sam’s Campaign<br />

Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust<br />

The Samantha Dickson Brain Tumor Trust (SDBTT) is<br />

the UK’s largest brain tumour charity. Set up after the<br />

death of Samantha Dickson at 17 years old, it has just<br />

celebrated its ten year anniversary (with the help of this<br />

campaign). The trust has provided over £2 million in<br />

funding for research into brain cancer and continues<br />

to fund research and find treatments.<br />

Brain cancer is known as the forgotten cancer. And<br />

Chris Catchpole (art director, designer and writer on all<br />

work) of catchpole&friends in London, England knew<br />

<strong>that</strong> good advertising and PR could not only help raise<br />

the profile of the charity but bring greater awareness<br />

nationwide to their cause.<br />

Also, as many of their long-standing patrons are very<br />

well-known celebrities, he chose to run a follow-up<br />

campaign using four of them showing their support.<br />

The campaign was covered on national television<br />

(Channel 4 and Meridian), in national magazines and<br />

press, in numerous local magazines and regional<br />

press, and on the radio (multiple interviews).<br />

Around £2.1 million of media exposure and over £60,000<br />

in donations have been generated by this campaign<br />

to date.<br />

He chose to dramatise many of the common symptoms<br />

of brain tumours to educate people and give them some<br />

idea of a checklist of things to look out for. One or two<br />

symptoms together are not necessarily indicative of<br />

a tumour. More than this and it is recommended <strong>that</strong><br />

a doctor is seen immediately.<br />

Europe<br />

Freedom of Press<br />

UNESCO Vlaanderen<br />

In most European countries, freedom of the press is<br />

taken for granted. Certainly in Belgium, readers of a<br />

wide range of independent, uncensored newspapers<br />

open their newspapers every day and expect unfettered<br />

and uncensored news coverage. Imagine their surprise<br />

then, when readers of ‘De Morgen’ found to their<br />

horror <strong>that</strong> their newspapers had been stapled closed,<br />

preventing access to the information within.<br />

This disruptive tactic by the team from Dubois meets<br />

Fugger in Antwerp, Belgium (comprising copywriter Ben<br />

Van Asbroeck, art director Caroline Vermaerken, creative<br />

director Peter Foubert and account executive Lien<br />

Brouillard) was a deliberate ploy to alert readers to the<br />

fact <strong>that</strong>, while they may take press freedom for granted,<br />

there are many countries where readers are not so lucky.<br />

Working with their client Marino Bultinck, this<br />

intervention was remarkably successful. Readers, once<br />

past their frustration with an inaccessible newspaper,<br />

would discover a card stapled to the back of the<br />

newspaper telling them “Freedom of press isn’t <strong>that</strong><br />

obvious everywhere”, alerting them to the plight of<br />

the press in other countries and directing them to the<br />

organisation’s website.<br />

As a result of the campaign, hits on the organisation’s<br />

website showed a dramatic increase – proof of a<br />

heightened awareness of the general public to the<br />

issues surrounding press freedom.<br />

68<br />

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and<br />

Cultural Organisation) describes itself as ‘a laboratory of<br />

ideas and a standard-setter to forge universal agreements<br />

on emerging ethical issues’ – had chosen to focus on<br />

press freedom for a full year in the Vlaanderen region.

Art of Yoga Project<br />

Art of Yoga Project<br />

74<br />

Founded in 1999 by family nurse practitioner and yoga<br />

instructor Mary Lynn Fitton, the Art of Yoga Project has a<br />

mission to guide young women to use yoga and creative<br />

expression as tools for well-being, accountability and<br />

empowerment. With a specific focus on ‘at risk’ girls<br />

(such as those in the juvenile justice system), the project<br />

has developed a Yoga and Creative Arts Curriculum <strong>that</strong><br />

combines health education, yoga and the creative arts<br />

to give at-risk girls lifelong focus and discipline.<br />

Art Director Michael Osborne and designer Jeff Ho of<br />

Joey’s Corner in San Francisco, California, USA have<br />

always believed in alternative means of reaching youth.<br />

Inspired by the project’s fun, modern and energetic<br />

curriculum, they set out to create a graphic system <strong>that</strong><br />

is synonymous with these attributes.<br />

The logo targets young women, funders and the<br />

juvenile justice system. The stationery <strong>that</strong> bears it<br />

(encompassing everything from letterheads to thankyou<br />

cards and brochures) was designed to help the Art<br />

of Yoga with promotion and implementation of their<br />

programme in a clear and concise way.<br />

Throughout, the work reflects the team’s belief <strong>that</strong> the<br />

Art of Yoga Project is a very modern and interesting<br />

approach to helping at-risk girls.<br />

In response to the campaign, the project was featured<br />

in local newspapers, its work was featured as a<br />

revolutionary programme in Yoga Journal, and was<br />

discussed at Yoga Workshops and Yoga Conferences.<br />

As a result, the project was able to double its<br />

classes at the San Mateo County Juvenile facility,<br />

expand its volunteer staff to over 20 certified yoga<br />

teachers and assistants, launch a new website (www.<br />

theartofyogaproject.org) and improve teacher training.<br />

Thanks in part to Jeff and Michael’s campaign, the Art<br />

of Yoga Project received the San Mateo County<br />

Probation Department’s 2007 Excellence Award.

Bright Eyes – Celebrating the Alkulana Experience<br />

Camp Alkulana<br />

At Camp Alkulana, a summer camp for the underprivileged<br />

youth from Richmond, Virginia, Meredith<br />

Carrington learned many lessons. First as a camper,<br />

then as a counsellor during high school and college,<br />

then as a member of the camp’s support team, which<br />

acts as its Board of Directors.<br />

With a unique understanding borne of first hand<br />

experience, Meredith – a designer at Merit Ink Design<br />

in Richmond – was trying to find a way of distilling the<br />

essence of Camp Alkulana.<br />

Regarding design, she decided to keep things extremely<br />

minimal; large colour solids, simple serif text, and full<br />

bleed photography. She felt <strong>that</strong> too much ‘design’<br />

would take away from the beauty of the simplistic<br />

photos and touching stories.<br />

The campaign was kicked off with a reception to<br />

which the entire camp ‘family’ (consisting of all past<br />

and present campers and counsellors, as well as<br />

every recorded volunteer) was invited, as well as key<br />

community leaders and press.<br />

“When considering how to communicate almost 100<br />

years of camp history, and thousands of personal<br />

stories, I knew I could not possibly cover it all. I decided<br />

to solicit personal photos and stories from anyone<br />

associated with Alkulana – campers, counsellors<br />

and volunteers. From their submissions, I selected a<br />

variety of serious, sentimental, historical and humorous<br />

accounts, which created a feeling of visual and textual<br />

collaboration,” she said.<br />

The impact of the book on the hundreds of campers<br />

<strong>that</strong> turned up at the event exceeded even Meredith’s<br />

expectations, and the praise <strong>that</strong> the campaign has<br />

garnered from the press for the sensitive way in which<br />

individual stories were told in words and pictures has<br />

placed Camp Alkulana and the underserved children<br />

of Richmond, Virginia on the public agenda.<br />

CYCLE Kids Awareness Campaign<br />

CYCLE Kids Inc<br />

With child obesity statistics climbing at an alarming rate,<br />

getting kids to eat healthily and enjoy the benefits of<br />

fresh air and exercise is as easy as riding a bicycle.<br />

This is the simple philosophy of CYCLE Kids Inc, an<br />

independent, non-profit organisation established to<br />

introduce children to the joys of cycling, the benefits of<br />

healthy eating, and the world of physical science. The<br />

organisation grew out of the founders’ strong desire to<br />

address the health and emotional issues facing today’s<br />

under-active, often overweight, children.<br />

healthy it is for the body and the heart. Using these<br />

stories as a starting point, each of the collateral pieces<br />

informs readers about how the organisation empowers<br />

children to stay fit and how much they benefit from the<br />

programme.<br />

A wide range of collateral was used: an organisational<br />

brochure, pocket folders, posters, local bus advertising<br />

and, of course, thank you cards. All were designed to<br />

work together in a number of different combinations to<br />

suit different audiences.<br />

80<br />

In fact, it was the sheer joy of riding a bike <strong>that</strong> inspired<br />

Lucas Roy, an independent designer from Boston,<br />

Massachusetts, together with writer Jean Gogolin,<br />

photographer Tim Llewellyn and CYCLE Kids Founder<br />

and Executive Director, Julianne Idlet, to design this<br />

charming campaign.<br />

Through the playfulness of illustration and the<br />

enthusiasm of photography, the brochure invites readers<br />

to reminisce about the sheer joy of owning and riding<br />

a bike as a child, how good it feels to exercise, how<br />

Proof of the efficiency of the appeal lies in the growing<br />

popularity of CYCLE Kids in Cambridge, Massachusetts.<br />

Proof of the campaign’s timeless appeal lies in the effect<br />

it had on designer Lucas Roy: ‘Throughout the process<br />

we received a generous amount of support and to see<br />

the kids <strong>that</strong> benefited from the classes was worth all<br />

the hard work. We were just happy to be part of the<br />

big picture.’

After Harm, Hope. Building a Forever Family<br />

DePelchin Children’s Center<br />

In the United States, thousands of children are removed<br />

from their biological families or guardians each year due<br />

to child abuse, neglect or other factors. Most of these<br />

children are older kids, sibling groups or children with<br />

highly specialised needs. Finding safe and loving homes<br />

for them is often problematic. But without permanent<br />

adoptive homes, these children will remain in foster care<br />

until they reach adulthood or are no longer eligible for<br />

foster care.<br />

Many of them will grow up with no home, without a<br />

mom or dad to walk them to class on their first day of<br />

school, to take them to the park to play or to sit in the<br />

stands and watch them play Little League baseball.<br />

Doug Hebert, Design Director of Savage Design Group<br />

Inc, was lucky enough to be adopted into a loving home<br />

when he was just a month old. But his awareness of<br />

the plight of those who weren’t so fortunate has been<br />

with him all his life, and prompted his involvement in the<br />

DePelchin Children’s Center, an organisation committed<br />

to finding safe and loving homes for children.<br />

For Doug, it’s all about the children’s stories. So when<br />

it came to designing the introductory packet and<br />

orientation material for prequalified, proactive parents,<br />

he saw this as an opportunity to highlight the long-term<br />

rewards of adoption by showing what it meant to the<br />

children themselves.<br />

As a result, the book he produced is all about hope and<br />

the positive impact <strong>that</strong> ‘family’ can have in a child’s<br />

life. Featuring important information on the DePelchin<br />

process, statistics and figures regarding adoption, the<br />

heart of the book focused on six different vignettes <strong>that</strong><br />

tell the story of youth lost and then found; a backdrop<br />

of the harsh realties shared by all the children, and the<br />

promise of a better tomorrow <strong>that</strong> adoption offers.<br />

Find the Help You Need, DIAL 211<br />

Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara<br />

88<br />

Everyone is familiar with 911. As an emergency<br />

services helpline, it is imprinted into the memory of<br />

every American old enough to operate a telephone.<br />

But there are some domestic crises <strong>that</strong> a conventional<br />

emergency helpline is not able to cover. Which is why<br />

the Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara introduced<br />

Helpline 211.<br />

Founded in 1899, Family Service Agency is Santa<br />

Barbara County’s oldest non-sectarian, human-service<br />

non-profit. Its mission, to strengthen and advocate<br />

for families and individuals of all ages and diversities,<br />

helping to create and preserve a healthy community, is<br />

met through its many programmes for children, families<br />

and seniors.<br />

Plugging directly into this mission, the new Helpline 211<br />

offers free, confidential, and multilingual counselling<br />

24 hours a day, providing callers with immediate crisis<br />

intervention and access to health and human services,<br />

thereby increasing their well-being and safety.<br />

Mary Schlesinger, Graphic Designer at Schlesinger<br />

Design in Santa Barbara, California, was fi rst<br />

introduced to Family Service Agency of Santa Barbara<br />

by a friend, one of the agency’s stellar board members.<br />

Intrigued by their latest offering, and aware of the need<br />

for critical communication within the community, she<br />

resolved to help.<br />

“In the broadest terms, we asked ourselves: how<br />

can we promote 211 Helpline’s role as a tool for<br />

communication at the neighbourhood level? And<br />

what are the characteristics of a successful social<br />

marketing campaign for hard-to-reach sectors? Our job<br />

was to target and access these community members<br />

without employing a one-size-fits-all, universal design<br />

approach,” Mary explained.<br />

Posters, brochures, stickers, booklets and flyers<br />

were distributed to local social service providers,<br />

community agencies and schools, approximately 1,400<br />

organisations in all. Reaching even further into the<br />

community, posters, flyers and coffee cup sleeves were<br />

distributed to local merchants, and bus ads ran for a full<br />

year on local bus routes.

Who Asked Me?<br />

Fraser<br />

“As a mother of a child with a disability, I witnessed the<br />

range of emotions my other two children experienced<br />

growing up with a sibling with special needs – including<br />

feelings of isolation, guilt, resentment, perceived<br />

pressure to achieve, and concern for the future. Since<br />

about seven million children in the US have a brother or<br />

sister with a special need, I wanted to create a resource<br />

<strong>that</strong> lets these children explore the sometimes hard-todiscuss<br />

feelings they might have about their sibling, as<br />

well as share the unique bonds <strong>that</strong> develop between<br />

them and their sibling.”<br />

This is how Adele L Bergstrom, designer and editor at<br />

A Light Communications in Minneapolis, describes her<br />

motivation for producing a book ‘by and for’ siblings<br />

of children with special needs.<br />

The book itself takes the form of a journal ‘by and for’<br />

siblings of special needs children. The result is a book<br />

of striking honesty and candour, covering such topics<br />

as this is my life, what our siblings have taught us,<br />

sharing good times ... and hard times, and twenty years<br />

from now. The vibrant colour scheme, combined with<br />

splashy layouts <strong>that</strong> include family photos along with<br />

handwriting fonts, all contribute to a contemporary,<br />

youth-oriented piece.<br />

During spring 2007 alone, the book was presented<br />

at six conferences on special needs, followed by a<br />

book signing event with the authors in the summer<br />

and a significant promotional schedule including press<br />

releases, news articles, and disability newsletters set<br />

to continue for several years.<br />

92<br />

Adele chose to work with Fraser because of the<br />

agency’s focus on serving the total family – not just the<br />

individual child enrolled in their programme. Fraser also<br />

had the national credibility and distribution outlet<br />

(www.fraser.org) needed to get her book into as many<br />

hands as possible.<br />

Initial feedback has been positive and, with 2,000<br />

comment cards due to return from 2,000 copies in the<br />

first year, the enthusiastic reception of Adele’s book is<br />

sure to continue.

Directions to a Sustainable Future<br />

Green Map System<br />

94<br />

The key to greening the planet is critical mass: the<br />

ability to align a network of people behind the cause<br />

of sustainability for environmental issues to become<br />

mainstream, not the esoteric ramblings of a privileged<br />

few. Green Map system is just such a network.<br />

Started in 1995, this award-winning organisation<br />

develops local sustainability networks and expands the<br />

demand for healthy, green choices across the world.<br />

To date, more than 300 unique locally-published Green<br />

Maps have helped to bring people of all ages, cultures<br />

and economic levels together to discover, share and<br />

care for their communities.<br />

For Millie Tien-Hui Lin, a graphic designer at Whitehouse<br />

& Company, New York, the challenge lay in solving<br />

design problems <strong>that</strong> could have a meaningful impact<br />

on a wide range of audiences and a tangible benefit to<br />

the future of the planet. Working with brand consultant<br />

and Green Map board member DK Holland, board<br />

member Sara Tucker, and founder Wendy Brawer,<br />

Millie applied herself to designing an identity for the<br />

organisation <strong>that</strong> would make it more visible, and invite<br />

people to find out more about it.<br />

The task was more daunting than it sounds, however,<br />

as it could not afford to alienate the mapmakers in<br />

communities around the world. Except for the universal<br />

icons on every Green Map, the design choices are<br />

determined locally, resulting in little conformity from one<br />

map to another.<br />

From its release in May 2007, the campaign was well<br />

received. To date distribution has included the US<br />

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental<br />

Quality Awards (Green Map was a 2007 recipient),<br />

Washington DC’s Sustainable Design Expo, the<br />

American Planning Association National Conference<br />

(Philadelphia), Yale University’s Envirolution and the<br />

United Nations. In anticipation of Green Map meetings<br />

in those countries, copies have even been shipped to<br />

China and Taiwan.

Fresh Starts Catering<br />

Homeward Bound of Marin<br />

“Eat a Halo and take a bite out of homelessness.” It is<br />

with this irresistible challenge <strong>that</strong> Kristie Hansen-Kemp,<br />

designer and owner of Hansen-Kemp Design in Novato,<br />

California, urges the public to contribute to fighting<br />

homelessness in her community.<br />

Kristie has worked with Homeward Bound of Marin as<br />

a contract designer for many years. In <strong>that</strong> time, she<br />

has been impressed with the staff’s absolute belief<br />

in the possibility of ending homelessness, and their<br />

commitment to providing residents of Homeward Bound<br />

with more than a meal and a bed for a night, but with<br />

the means to change their lives.<br />

Now Kristie has helped Homeward Bound move into<br />

the mainstream, with its Fresh Starts Catering business<br />

and a line of products called Halo HomeMades and<br />

Halo Truffles.<br />

various stages of preparation juxtaposed with student<br />

chefs and servers.<br />

The playfulness of her design extends to the logo, where<br />

a fork as an icon has the organic look of a growing<br />

sprout, representing both the growth of the student<br />

and the fresh foods <strong>that</strong> the catering service provides.<br />

The logo is supported by the green rolling hills, which<br />

represent the local area and grounds the logo.<br />

Exposed primarily through Homeward Bound<br />

newsletters, newspaper ads and mailings, as well as<br />

distribution to visitors touring Homeward Bound’s<br />

facilities and weekly presentations, the campaign has<br />

already resulted in an established customer base for<br />

the catering business. These loyal customers also<br />

voluntarily distribute material to other members of the<br />

community on Homeward Bound’s behalf.<br />

98<br />

Under the banner ‘Fresh Food, Fresh Starts’, Fresh<br />

Starts Catering provides a great meal, while providing<br />

culinary students the opportunity to make a fresh start<br />

in life. The approach of the campaign is elegant, friendly,<br />

fresh, and healthy, with photographs of fresh food in<br />

“The general response from customers, as well as board<br />

members and funders, has been ‘Wow’! The materials<br />

are stunning, powerful, and they express the goal of<br />

our social enterprise very clearly,” says Paul Fordham,<br />

Homeward Bound of Marin’s Development Director.

Grace Pease: Fundraising for Madagascar Ankizy Fund<br />

Madagascar Ankizy Fund<br />

Imagine an island – the fourth largest in the world<br />

– with more than 17 million people, 75% of whom live<br />

below the poverty line, and an average life expectancy<br />

of 53 years. Imagine <strong>that</strong> the mortality rate is 11 times<br />

higher than in the United States, 50% of children are<br />

severely stunted in their growth, more than 50% of the<br />

population are under the age of 18, and yet there are no<br />

schools in the rural areas where they are needed most.<br />

It was this bleak scenario on the island of Madagascar<br />

<strong>that</strong> inspired Grace Pease, a 15-year-old girl from<br />

Maine, USA, to do something to help. And it was her<br />

commitment, passion, and hard work <strong>that</strong> inspired<br />

the team <strong>that</strong> produced this moving campaign for<br />

Madagascar Ankizy: Fund for the education and health<br />

care of Malagasy children.<br />

‘Ankizy’ is the Malagasy word for children, and it was in<br />

order to foster the education and physical well being of<br />

Malagasy children <strong>that</strong> Madagascar Ankizy came about.<br />

brochures for her to use when she goes to area<br />

schools to tell students and teachers about her work<br />

in Madagascar. Since Grace’s story is so inspirational,<br />

we wanted to create publications <strong>that</strong> would help<br />

educate people about Madagascar and to describe<br />

the work of the Madagascar Ankizy Fund,” explains<br />

Brad Woodworth, designer at Woodworth Associates<br />

of Brunswick, Maine.<br />

In addition, Grace and her mother produced a<br />

PowerPoint presentation using many of the photos<br />

<strong>that</strong> appeared in the brochures, forming a complete<br />

package to inform teachers and students in the United<br />

States about the plight of Malagasy children, and how<br />

they can help.<br />

Grace and her mother will soon be heading back to<br />

Madagascar to share the good news with the families<br />

they have worked so hard to help.<br />

“With Grace as our role model for making a difference,<br />

we designed a fundraising package with two separate

Colorectal Cancer Screening Promotion for<br />

the Uninsured / Underinsured Population<br />

Open Door Family Medical Centers Inc<br />

Founded in 1972 by a group of community volunteers,<br />

Open Door Family Medical Centers Inc began as a free<br />

clinic in the basement of Ossining’s First Baptist Church.<br />

Over 30 years later, Open Door has evolved in a full<br />

service primary care provider with four sites of care<br />

in Westchester County, New York, and one of the<br />

largest providers of health care for low-income<br />

patients in Central and Northern Westchester County,<br />

assisting more than 25,000 and making more than<br />

100,000 visits annually.<br />

Aware <strong>that</strong> many of these people are not adequately<br />

screened for colorectal cancer because of little or no<br />

insurance, Kurt Finkbeiner, Colin Goedecke and Stephen<br />

and Benjamin Ferrari of Graphic Expression Inc in New<br />

York decided to design materials to make the audience<br />

aware of a free or low-cost alternative to colonoscopy.<br />

good health. Presented as handouts and posters at<br />

Open Door sites, the campaign was also made available<br />

on the Internet to other community health centres<br />

nationally via the Open Door website and a national<br />

cancer collaborative, as well as on the National Cancer<br />

Institute website.<br />

The results of the campaign speak for themselves, with<br />

a dramatic increase in the number of people taking<br />

the test and, more importantly, because of the clearly<br />

designed instructions, returning the test to Open Door<br />

for analysis. Requests for material from other community<br />

health centres have also satisfied the team and their<br />

client <strong>that</strong> significant progress has been made.<br />

106<br />

Their concept was to make people aware <strong>that</strong> this<br />

screening was important not only for their own health,<br />

but also for loved ones who also cared for them,<br />

and worked towards giving people a reason beyond<br />

themselves for doing the screening and maintaining

The 1% User’s Guide<br />

Public Architecture of San Francisco<br />

110<br />

Established in 2002 and based in San Francisco,<br />

Public Architecture identifies and solves practical<br />

problems of human interaction in the built environment.<br />

It acts as a catalyst for public discourse through<br />

education, advocacy, and the design of public spaces<br />

and amenities.<br />

Believing <strong>that</strong> design is a process of making things <strong>that</strong><br />

build constructive values directly into the work, the team<br />

from MendeDesign of San Francisco saw a coming<br />

together of their own values and vision with those of<br />

Public Architecture.<br />

They identified in particular with the 1% Solution, an<br />

attempt to bring design sensitivity to the non-profit<br />

sector, a sector typically woefully short of access to<br />

thoughtful space planning and design. By pairing nonprofit<br />

organisations with interested architects, the 1%<br />

Solution enables those organisations to develop more<br />

healthy, dignified, efficient, user-friendly and meaningful<br />

working environments <strong>that</strong> function to better serve their<br />

clients and overall mission.<br />

So Jeremy Mende (creative director, designer, writer),<br />

Vinnie Chieco (writer), Steven Knodel (designer),<br />

Amadeo DeSousa (designer) and Diana Martinez (junior<br />

designer) came up with the 1% User’s Guide, a package<br />

of related print materials <strong>that</strong> seek to forge real, projectoriented,<br />

working relationships between architects and<br />

501(c)(3), non-profit organisations.<br />

The 1% User’s Guide consists of two booklets: one written<br />

to engage principals of architecture firms, the other<br />

to engage the executive directors of non-profit organisations<br />

in need of design services. Users must complete<br />

a series of fill-in-the-blank style questions <strong>that</strong> remind<br />

them of the power of design to elevate quality of life.<br />

The two books adjoin one another, sharing a single<br />

spine. In this way the architect’s booklet leads into<br />

the back of the non-profit booklet, and the non-profit<br />

booklet leads into the architect’s booklet, creating a<br />

physical model of the architect-nonprofit relationship<br />

the project advocates.

Art in Transit<br />

The Santa Fe Art Institute<br />

Believing <strong>that</strong> art is not a luxury but a necessity in<br />

society, and appalled by the lack of exposure to<br />

art experienced by lower-income members of the<br />

community, a creative team from Minelli Inc in Boston<br />

developed Art in Transit for the Santa Fe Art Institute.<br />

But why Santa Fe? Noel Cunningham explains<br />

<strong>that</strong> Santa Fe, recently designated as the first<br />

UNESCO American World Creative City, experiences<br />

a unique paradox.<br />

With astounding cultural diversity, a vibrant artists’<br />

community, a huge art market (the second largest in the<br />

US) and one of the most beautiful natural settings in the<br />

world, it is also a city of ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ where a<br />

large proportion of the inhabitants live below the poverty<br />

line and see little of the art <strong>that</strong> makes Santa Fe so<br />

culturally rich.<br />

Making use of brief informative sentences in both<br />

English and Spanish, placed alongside photographs<br />

of work created by artists-in-residence at the Santa Fe<br />

Art Institute, travellers experience the artwork without<br />

distracting design elements, and as closely as possible<br />

to how it would be viewed in a gallery or museum.<br />

Backed by press releases, media exposure and<br />

postcards featuring the art seen on the buses for riders<br />

to take home with them, the campaign was both highly<br />

visible and highly successful; the unexpectedness of art<br />

covering an entire bus in their everyday landscape has<br />

offered the public a true moment of surprise for those<br />

who use and interact with the transit system.<br />

114<br />

In an attempt to enrich and excite these people with the<br />

possibilities of art, Art in Transit presents artwork in the<br />

simplest way possible, adorning the public transport<br />

<strong>that</strong> these people use everyday.

Ametrica!<br />

US Metric Association<br />

118<br />

The United States is one of three nations today still not<br />

committed to metric conversion, keeping company with<br />

Liberia and Myanmar. Using a measurement system<br />

other than the international standard has caused<br />

inefficiencies in education and manufacturing, and put<br />

US business and labour at a competitive disadvantage<br />

in the global market.<br />

The US Metric Association (USMA) maintains an<br />

archive of metric information in order to advise<br />

government and industry at meetings where the metric<br />

system is a topic of concern. The USMA qualifies<br />

Certified Metrication Specialists, encourages the<br />

public to enrol as members and as spokespeople for<br />

metrication, with the ultimate goal of converting the<br />

United States to the metric system.<br />

Growing up in Taiwan and the Dominican Republic,<br />

studying science first, as an undergraduate, then<br />

graphic design for a Master’s degree, and finding herself<br />

with friends from around the world, designer Amy Wang<br />

of Carbone Smolan in New York City, became convinced<br />

through personal experience of the need to go metric.<br />

Her feeling was <strong>that</strong>, while the USMA carries out vital<br />

work, it lacks a public-friendly component: Ametrica!<br />

was therefore an attempt to preach to the unconverted,<br />

as well as motivating and unifying those who already<br />

believe in the benefits of metric conversion.<br />

Using outdoor advertising, such as bus shelters,<br />

phone booth posters, wrapped buses, painted trucks,<br />

electronic taxi billboards, as well as indoor media, such<br />

as coffee cup sleeves, grocery bags, packing tape,<br />

campaign pins, television and web, Amy’s campaign<br />

injects cheeky humour into a subject <strong>that</strong> is generally<br />

quite dry.<br />

Along with a pitch book <strong>that</strong> appeals to cultural,<br />

financial and legislative leaders, the campaign has<br />

already aroused the curiosity of all who’ve seen it,<br />

prompting most to question why one of the world’s<br />

leading nations is still out of sync with the rest of<br />

the globe.
