Project-Image

Four leaflets that give instructions and contain suggestions for correct use of our planet, currently available both in English and in German.

Createdusing classical medical instruction leaflets as a model, this charmingform of information provision should inspire the reader to informhim/her self and to act. Every voice counts. The demand determines thesupply. Because environmental-protection is self-protection.

Atmosphere (air)
Biosphere (biomass)
Hydrosphere (water)
Litho- and Pedosphere (earth).

Angie Rattay, the Austrian designer who created and designed this project (with the colaboration of Ulrich Einweg) shares with us:

"Every reader will benefit from the design, because of the eco-social contents transported by each sphere. There is a lot to read - we know - but if you take a little time, you will understand the importance of the contents!
Since the Industrialization mankind took too much from our planet and as we see now, we were biting the hand that fed us.
We have to come down to earth again to face our living-conditions and to change it in an innovative and interesting way. And Design can amazingly force that!
"

This project has been awarded with the European Design Award (MERIT+JURYPRICE) and the RED DOT Communication Design Award. In December 208 the project will be honoured from the UNESCO as official UN-Decade-Project.
