Help Haiti

Description

As I've been watching - along with the rest of the world - the unbelievable devastation that's been unleashed on Haiti from the comfort of my house, I keep developing severe urges to create from it.

Have you ever felt so moved by something that you just want to create?

It's as general as that. Positive or negative, experiencing strong emotions inevitably leads to me thinking about how to deal with them in the form of art.

Simple design that took a long time hehe. This was started about 4 days ago and I've been perfecting it every hour of every day since. I began with the words Help Haiti and a red cross, but I wanted to to something predominately typographic. So I played around with the positioning of individual letters and eventually fell on this, which I would never have seen coming.

Anyway, I've seen it so much now that all perspective is lost - so if anything looks obviously off or weird please let me know! :D

Any money made from this print will be donated to the cause by me via oxfam australia, please consider it

Hope you like it :)

PS. anyone find it weird that theres no "poster design" category? ..or am I just not seeing it? It's a fairly established field, lol.

Nice work Manion man. I t really is a worthy cause, and though I have no way of paying for this, hopefully somebody else'll see it and think ^_^

Oon the aesthetic side of things I think it's perfect! The simplicity gets the message accross with no destraction, and the colour signifies the severity of the need. Also, the white lettering is perfect for symbolising the good nature of helping ^_^
