Research for Case Study

　G.F Smith

What Made Thought did before designing was to learn about the company's history. I wondered how he or she contacted the company. I realized that Made Thought was able to create a new design while preserving the past beautifully by knowing its history, company policies and achievements so far.

　Homeless fonts

I was surprised at the idea of ​​making homeless handwriting a font. I thought their letters on the cardboard were indeed representative of their heart in their hearts. I also learned why they became homeless, that they had no choice, and how important it was to analyze them. I also learned from reading this article that fundraising is not a fundamental solution.

　The Gut Stuff

The development team also seems to have started researching, focusing on topics related to the brief. If you keep watching the movements of the bowel for hours and days, the gestalt is likely to collapse, but as a result they have made a great video. I'm convinced that the flexibility of the intestine, its always different shape, and the realization of this fact made it unique. By expressing the intestine with balloons, I was impressed with the feeling of satiety and irritation. The video also seems to meet the low cost requirement.

　BETC Paris

I was surprised that the concept of the work was not only an expression of the company's intention, but also a playfulness. People who buy the product will also attract the interest of others around them by wearing the product.

Un proyecto muy humano y muy sobrecogedor, hay gente que ha tenido mala suerte en la vida, pero que nunca pierde la sonrisa.

Otra buena observación de parte de una agencia. Homeless - Cartones - Letering - Ayudar. Hay que saber observar bien  a tu cliente, en las manos puede estar la respuesta directa a lo que estas buscando. Los grandes problemas siempre tienen solución, muchas veces como esta, están a la vista.

Ya gano: 2 Oro, 3 Plata y 1 Bronce en El Ojo de Iberoamérica 2014; y un oro en el "New York el Festival Art Directors Club". Solamente buscando una buena solución a un gran problema.

Homelessfonts.org: ¿Qué ofrezco si no tengo nada?

Utilizar la letra que la gente sin hogar los homeless usan en sus carteles para pedir limosna y convertirla en una tipografía para que quien quiera utilizarla pueda usarla (previo pago). Los beneficios irán a parar a asociaciones de ayuda a personas sin hogar. La iniciativa es original, es la evolución de una práctica tan antigua como el hombre. Una forma de vender lo único que estas personas pueden vender.

"CADA PERSONA NECESITA UNA AYUDA DIFERENTE"... así empieza la historia de varias personas que viven en la calle y que gracias al proyecto http://www.homelessfonts.org/ descubren que sus letras escritas en pedazos de cartón que nadie quiere leer, pueden ser su salvación.

Historias que nos enseñan, que lo digital nos une como personas.

¿Ya tienes tu nueva fuente?

this is one of the coolest things I've seen. As someone who loves graphic design, it is amazing to see people who use their talents for good. The Arrels Foundation created this site, Homeless Fonts, where they took the writing of people off the streets and turned them into fonts that they now sell online. The profits of the fonts go back to the person to whom the handwriting belongs. A creative way to keep people off the streets and inspire creativity.
