Royal Agricultural University: Giving us Voice project
Giving us Voice is a collaboration between the Royal Agricultural University and the University of Dar es Salaam to understand and share the experiences of fishing communities affected by climate change on the islands of Pemba, Unguja and Mafia.
Meeting regularly with Dr Annalisa Christie to agree the most important messages, I 'translated' stick figure sketches into graphic stories reflecting the colour of the communities I have never visited. Each section tells the story of a community affected by climate change. Versions created in English and Swahili. Illustrative style dictated by budget.
“Design is not art. Design is solving problems. The real skill is to make something look good but to make it work so well that nobody questions it.” Otl Aicher, designer and typgrapher (1922–1991)
