My disaster preparedness kit includes a Swiss grid, some woodblock printing filters, and enough drugs to make me think that doing a minimalist-movie-poster-style poster is going to help out.

Disasters aren’t like causes, causes win supporters through many means: design is one of them. Disasters destroy lives and either you can donate and you have, you can and won’t, or can’t and won’t. No poster, no matter how beautiful, is gonna change that.

And honestly, I don’t care about tribute posters or anything where all proceeds go to the victims…you hang up a disaster design poster on your wall and all I see is a dickbag diploma.
