Now I know I’ve harped on about this organisation before but I can’t help it. People need to know about this. It really gets the cogs turning in my head and makes my cheeks start burning with adrenaline and pure giddiness. If you’ve ever been to agIdeas (Melbourne), or Semi-Permanent (Oceania), SXSW or any other creative conference or gathering, no doubt you know that absolute buzzing feeling that you leave with. You’re excited, your eyes burn, you feel like you’re going to explode because you are so inspired and proud of the potential awesomeness of the profession you’re in. Right? Right. Positive Posters makes me feel like that. Especially when head honcho Nick Hallam drops these little nuggets off on random mornings:
EPISODE 25: Designers CAN change the world from Nick Hallam on Vimeo.
Buhhh…
These mofos are switched on. I’m a believer, like Nick up there, that design is …the best thing in the bloody world. It has potential – it’s a weapon, it’s a tool that can be used to instigate anything. Let’s face it, the world has some serious issues right now. Serious. Issues. A buttload of money isn’t going to fix it – people are. Why aren’t we using design to gather, empower and instigate change?! WHY?! Well, the people at Positive Posters are.
If you don’t know what they do, then go to their website and PARTICIPATE. NOW. DO IT. WWW.POSITIVE-POSTERS.COM
Donate, spread the word, buy some merch. Support Positive Posters because it’s going to change the face and guts of design nationally and globally.
