Milton Glaser Creates Poster with SVA to Bring Attention to Crisis in DarfurA campaign intended to increase public awareness of the crisis in Darfur will appear throughout New York City from November 2006 through January 2007.
Created by legendary designer Milton Glaser, the poster will benefit the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a global leader in emergency relief, rehabilitation and protection of human rights.
Funded by School of Visual Arts (SVA), where Glaser has been an instructor and board member since 1961, the campaign will include a 28x38 ft. banner outside of the SVA headquarters, at 209 East 23rd Street, starting December 5, and a series of posters inside 285 subway cars throughout the month of January.
One poster design has already appeared on MTA subway platforms during the month of November, and it is available for sale, with all proceeds going to the IRC.
Glaser created this extended campaign to call attention to what he describes as, "one of the great humanitarian crises of our time."
The concept takes the seemingly distant crisis and brings it to our doorstep, relating Sudanese family members who are being killed every day to members of our own family.
The banner tagline "500 Family Members Killed Today and Every Day" emphasizes the scale of the ongoing crisis.
