Graphic Design and the Developing/Third World

[EldawenEmileia]

I am not sure this is the right place in which to post this thread, but it seems one of the most likely from what I saw as I glanced down the page. Anyway...

I'm writing about critical issues in the developing world (aka the third world) as related to graphic design. It's somewhat a vague concept, but I have to write about it nonetheless.

If anyone has any experience in this regard, as to what graphic design-type issues are critical in the developing world, and would care to share, I would be grateful. Actually, I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas, whether or not they have any experience in that regard.

Poster campaigns similar to these are always relevant

Umm... I'm sorry, poster campaigns?

I was happy to see your post but dissapointed to find that there were no other entries. I graduated with a degree in graphic design in 2007. Afterwards I volunteered in Kenya for 4 months and now the standard marketing and commercial graphic design job just doesn't appeal. I'd love to hear more from anyone on suggestions for a more meaningful application for my degree or even some side projects I could get involved with. In the mean time check out my website documenting my experience. Note: its a work in progress... 3rd World Virtues
