内容简介

Shortly after the catastrophic tsunami in Asia, a team from the UK design agency iLovedust came up with the idea of creating a book of graphic design, illustration and photography to raise money for charities helping victims of the crisis. Thanks to generous support from designers and partners, dgv turned this dream into reality.

A Book Designed to Help features close to 1,000 artworks from over 240 international contributors. The lavish, though affordable, hardcover was not only published to support a good cause, but is also a significant update of current visual creativity from around the world. It includes a foreword by Mark Sinclair, Senior Writer at renowned UK design magazine Creative Review.

German printer Engelhardt & Bauer, paper manufacturer Scheufelen and bookbinder Spinner supported the project by providing their services at cost price. Their substantial contributions have not only produced a publication of the highest quality, but also ensure that as much money as possible will go directly to those victims who need it most. The net profits from the sale of A Book Designed to Help will go to respected worldwide charity organization CARE, who will use the funds to help the poorest communities recover from the tsunami disaster.
