sbx_header.jpgA call for creatives went out to help Oxfam International with their campaign to make trade fair. They’re looking for under-30 creatives to help creative an ad campaign to spread their message worldwide. The competition seems cool but the effort to make trade fair is pretty interesting as well. The main push of the effort is to integrate poverty relief and elimination efforts into world trade. Everything from the World Trade Organization to Starbucks to farming collectives are discussed on their website.

Design for Social Need

In response to mounting pressures on our communities and in light of the vast potential that we as designers share, a handful designers have formed Design for Social Need (DSN). Our mission is to bring together designers of all types with local social service organizations on volunteer design projects that span from research to development, from planning to implementation.

About the website

The site is divided into two main sections: (1) continuously updated listing of relevant stories, examples, people and going-ons and (2) listing of current projects both underway and under consideration.
