THE
PSA PROJECT
Combining a Schoolhouse Rock sensibility with a Black Panthers aesthetic,
the PSAs available on Flrt tackle complex subjects in a simple manner. Born
from web surfing, each PSA offers multiple starting points for the user
to continue the research effort.

E Waste
Did you know that this magical box you are staring at contains 8 lbs of
lead? Ever wonder what that does when it leeches into the ground water at
your local dump? Read on. |
Coming
up...
Big changes are on the way. Stay tuned. |

What is Design Good for Anyway?
Is it to sell stuff? Is it utilitarian? Can it change the world? We did
this for Voice2: AIGA National Design Conference 2002. |

Don't be afraid of the dark
Light pollution is ruining our view of the heavens, killing off fireflies
and worst of all, it has not decreased the amount of alien abductions. |

The Paperless Office
Do you remember how computers were going to green the modern office by cutting
out paper waste? Say hello to rolling blackouts. |

Computer Is Bad
AKA: Ouch my wrists hurt. Why weren't ergonomics an issue until the injured
became white collar workers? |

What Do the Trees Want?
A special Xmas treat. If trees have consciousness do they want to be chopped
down for the holidays? By the way, the lumber industry is destroying public
trust lands. |

One Person, Two Votes
Interactive design for democracy or: "How I learned to stop worrying
and love the butterfly ballot." |

Bronx keeps on making it, u r faking it. |

In an attempt to circumnavigate congressional authority over the Office
of Homeland Security, the Bush Administration created a graphic to explain
how the office intersects with existing governmental organizations.
It persuaded congress to allow this office to only report to the White House.
Who says design doesn't matter? |
A. The Bush Administration Design...
...as published by The NY Times (11.4.01 B7). The graphic features abbreviated
names, meaningless usage of shape, and intentionally confusing structure:
hallmarks of misleading information design. By Jay Jakub |
B. Our version of the same chart...
...with identical information. We have restructured the page to indicate
hierarchy and where possible we have provided full names of departments. |
| We
love campaign finance reform. |
