There’s nothing more instant form of communicating a message than a poster. But sadly most of the time our industry spends its time promoting beer and trainers rather than issues that really matter. It’s compounded by the fact that as a young creative trying to make your career you have to fill your portfolio with work for big brands to get noticed. Work for charities is nice, but doesn’t pay the bills.  We found this incredibly frustrating. To make a stand against this collective apathy we decided to create our own project to reward creativity in social communication and provide charities with a database of communication tools they could use for campaigns.  We created Good 50×70, an independent, non-profit initiative with the following aims: - to promote the value of social communication in the creative community, - to provide charities with a (free) database of communication tools, - to inspire the public via graphic design. Our focus is an annual contest to design posters confronting seven of the critical issues affecting today’s world.

It’s not about spec work for the hopes of fame, glory, or a paltry sum and a tee shirt. There is no prize money, there isn’t even a winner declared. The briefs are provided by seven charities, and purpose is to use design as a tool for social communication, which is something we could use a lot more of these days. Read more about it here.
