This is the most appropriate project “design for all”.
Misspelled “priority” on the cover. Hope they haven’t printed yet.
Also, “safety.” Might want to look into having someone other than a drunk monkey proofread your work.
I wouldn’t criticize them too hard, they likely don’t speak English as their first language – they are all from china after all. Besides having someone whose native language is English do the proofreading, I’d say its totally awesome!
This is discouraging…… Can’t believe this can be in the same category as hundreds of great designs that followed the rules of the competition and actually had substance. Goes to show the culture gap.
Really? Is this good?
@jack
Yeah. I’m doubt that would this design fill the culture gap? By the way, the idea is generic, but it’s good yet relevant in a way.
It is very nicely done. I appreciate.
overpopulation is a really serious problem
@jack, what cultural gap are you talking about? You have more sex in your culture or less? Why culture is even part of the design equation for this particular topic? This is a generic message that applies to all cultures. I don’t get your rationale.
