The Hurricane Poster Project was created by the folks at Moxie Sozo with the goal of raising one million dollars to aid hurricane victims. It's an opportunity for artists, designers and those who who can't be trusted with hammers to help ongoing efforts to rescue and rebuild. The project is totally volunteer and the dough goes to the Red Cross so it all gets down to the people who need the bread.
+ What you can do
1. Visit TheHurricanePosterProject.com browse the collection (currently 164) and purchase a poster. Don't delay because these are signed, limited editions and prices go up as quantities go down.
2. Design a poster to contribute. Visit the site for details but they've allowed plenty of flexibility for you to create your own vision and donate what you can manage.
3. Spread the word. Tell your friends and peers or put a link to the project on your website.
+ Implications
