Good50×70 is a project that collects poster designs and provides it to charitable institutions like Amnesty International, Greenpeace or the WWF. The makers call it “Creativity for free” – the creative community should be a “force for good”. Yet they stemmed already fifteen workshops, twenty exhibitions and over 4,000 posters – a respectable success. (Image credits: Simonluca Definis).

The next exhibition of the posters will be held at La Triennale Gallery in Milan. The exhibition will open on the 19th of June, and will end on the 12th of July. The exhibition will be preceded by a set of workshops led by three of Good 50×70’s jury members: Alain Le Quernec, Woody Pirtle and Yossi Lemel. The workshops will all take place at different schools in Milan on the 15th, 16th and 17th of June.

However I think that one poster is missing – it is a graffiti we found in Sydney. Seb saved it on a picture.

Here is a competition that could be fun to participate. The task:

What kind of character or distinction defines the modern-day hero in these times? What powers would he/she possess? Summon your illustrative force and go where no design has gone before. This competition asks you to come up with and illustrate a new kind of hero – your own benevolent fictional character for this day and age.

Social Designer will pick the best hero design to win a prize money of $2000. The winning design will be made into a t-shirt and sold on Social Designer.com with 20% of the profits going to 826 National, a non-profit organization.

Did you ever think about what positive effect daylight has when it is streaming into a room? Of course we know that light makes us feel good and bright. But what about the patterns on the wall it creates?

“Daylight in a room indoor gives information or signs of something outside the physical room. These signs give us a subconcious feeling that our perceived space is larger than the physical room. The contrast betwwen and indoor decreases.”

That is what Daniel Rybakken knows about the relation between light and room – and with this in mind he created “Surface Daylight”, a light panel with light in the surface and therefore simulating streaming daylight into a room. With his project he won the Design Report Award 2009 at the SaloneSatellite in Milan.

I think this award found the right winner. The project is amazing as it uses the latest technology in light (and shows what can be achieved with it) in an ubiquitous and aesthetically appealing way.
