Amnesty International Bank Notes

A poster was produced with all bank notes from some Latin American countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, between others. Each piece was realized over a Bank note of each country, which was illustrated by one representative artist, the profits were handed to Amnesty International.
Banknotes have been chosen as they are an embodiment of the dominant narrative of each nation and what is considered most important. Using bank notes as inspiration presents a platform for independent voice in approaching issues such as economic problems, exclusion and nationalism.{via}

One Lyric, Hot Letters





This project is called “Music Philosophy” and it is a rather excellent clash of brilliantly written lyrics and typography. Design of this caliber is often reserved for paying customers, but Mico Toledo does this project as a hobby. The closest this project has come to the physical plane is some printed versions of the posters and a painting project on the wall of a friend’s apartment. Fab!
