Figured I'd put my design knowledge to good use. I decided to make this poster to raise awareness to the ONE campaign and to add some perspective. What do you guys think?

well, over 6000 people day of AIDS a day in Africa, so I was trying to convey that.

very cool concept mattyd, it definitely has more impact than the usual photo concept, which I think people are becoming numb to.

i wouldlike the ad more if brad wasn't wearing a 300 dollar t-shirt and a 700 dollar pair of jeans to film that.
great ad though mattyd!

ill admit that i was numb to the whole thing til i read that two 9/11's happen each day in africa and that a tsumani-like death toll each month.
thats pretty absurd.
i also figured if i have the skills in design, that i should put them to good use.

the idea reminds me of how much this effected me during the tsunami crisis - it's all about putting things in perspective, otherwise it's just too abstract.

one gripe i have is the 'p' and 'h' touching though. not sure how to fix that other than putting the 'a' on the line above.....but blah, blah. it's still really good.

lvl_13,
i agree, it was something that i was struggling with for like an hour, but every thing i tried just made it look worse. so i just swallowed it and went with what i had.
neuarmy,
that link is awesome.

"ill admit that i was numb to the whole thing til i read that two 9/11's happen each day in africa and that a tsumani-like death toll each month. "
that's some amazing stats.
in swaziland, not far from where i am, the current life expectancy is 35, due to aids. that's the lowest ever since the dark ages.
anyway, more countries in africa are using anti-retroviral drugs, so at least that's something tangible that money can be spent on.
but shit's so fucked up, i'm not even going to get into the politics in south africa regarding aids.
