Numbers Change T-Shirt & Landis Change Donation Event Promotion by Skyler Vander Molen 4_42328315

Behold this typographic picto from Skyler Vander Molen – a clear first read, second read, third read, and et-cetera. Made for Global Peace Exchange to be printed on t-shirts to be sold to raise money to send 20 volunteers to Rwanda to help build an IT school and teach English. Not too shabby a cause for a typographer to be stabbing at.

Numbers Change T-Shirt & Landis Change Donation Event Promotion

Client: Global Peace Exchange
Role: T-shirt design, illustration, poster design, button design, t-shirt printing
Description: Global Peace Exchange is a student founded and run non-profit begun at Florida State University. In 2008, GPE took a team of 20 volunteers to Rwanda to help build an IT school and teach English. As a volunteer, it was our duty to raise money for the trip. As part of my contribution, I designed a t-shirt to raise awareness about Africa as well as raise money.

The shirts were sold along with buttons I designed during a week long event GPE held on Landis Green at Florida State University where change donations were taken and information distributed. To help promote the event, I also designed posters which were hung around campus.

Shirts were printed on black American Apparel t-shirts and sold for $20. Sold over 250 shirts in 2 weeks raising over $4,000 in profits for GPE. GPE continues to use these shirts as a fundraiser and promotion tool for the organization.

Take a peek at the rest of the ephemera here from the same situation:
