THE PEOPLES YACHT TRIP on THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY
B&W flyer design printed on colored paper
Example web graphic: facebook wall graphic for sharing
About 60 New Yorkers from across the city traveled to the “forgotten borough” to join Staten Islanders in delivering a strong message to its Congressional Representative Michael Grimm: in order to fund the recovery and rebuilding of Staten Island and the rest of New York impacted by Hurricane Sandy, end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
The group traveled on the Staten Island Ferry – dubbing it “The People’s Yacht” – to call on the Congressman to stand up for his constituents, not cut taxes for the wealthy.
“Now is the time to rebuild Staten Island and the rest of the city, and invest in infrastructure that will protect us from future natural disasters. We cannot afford to give tax breaks to millionaires while thousands of New Yorkers are still displaced from their homes.” said Olivia Leirer, Communications Director for New York Communities for Change.
“Congressman Grimm needs to stand up for his constituents and do the right thing- vote to protect the middle class and end the Bush tax cuts for the 2% in order to fund the recovery of Staten Island and NY.” said Teri Caliari, Staten Island for Change.
“Tax cuts for the wealthy have not spurred the economy. I wish they had. Tax cuts for the non-wealthy are vital to the well-being of society. President Bush put an expiration date on his tax cuts. President Obama gave them an extension. Let the cuts expire for the wealthiest people, but keep them for the non-wealthy.” said Lawrence B. Benenson, NY-Patriotic Millionaire and Partner at Benenson Capital.

FEMA is still working hard to help get relief for storm victims in the Northeast — not a small task considering the size and scope of that natural disaster. To help fill in the gap, volunteers from a movement called Occupy Sandy are trying to reach residents in need who live in New York City’s boroughs. Ray Suarez reports.

Enmedio, from the Spanish Revolution, projects 2008 to 2011
Streamed the 2012 Creative Time Summit: Confronting Inequality. Leonidas Martin’s presentation of Enmedio projects in particular caught my attention, hyper condensed it manages to overview and entertain at once. Watch it while you can, videos on the Creative Time live stream are only accessible for a short period of time.
Storytelling and structure are essential to all communications, be they short presentations (like those presented at the CTS) or the release of strategic serial content (such as campaign collateral). The Enmedio presentation through a decisive structure with minimal aesthetic decisions doesn’t sacrifice pacing or narrative despite the breadth of content. Consider the use of cartooney clipart (Bolsa project), the experience of a poorly drawn figure idling at a phone is hilarious, a narrative element rather than a distraction.
Without considering the structure and voice of your own content and cultivating the story it tells design becomes aesthetic where it should perform as liaison, art no more than a bauble.
The design process is essentially a process of subtraction, organization and emphasis.
