I’ve found myself strck dumb but the recent horror and catastrophe in Haiti. Seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of the struggles to recover from a deadly earthquake in an already impoverished nation is overwhelming. And it’s left me wondering what I, as a designer, can do. I want to (and will) send money, but I also want to do something that will, hopefully, make a difference in the long term. So how can a graphic designer in Canada affect the lives of people in Haiti? I don’t know yet.
Matt Ward over at Echo Enduring has started an auction of his services to raise money. If you want to bid, you can follow the link, all the information is there. I think this is a great starting place, and I’m considering doing the same thing.
And Design Informer has a nice long list of design projects that various designers are working on to help Haiti. There’s some nice eye-candy bits of inspiration in there.
