Some of my fellow @kaospilots alumni are running a visualizing project for Roskilde Festival
If you’ve been looking for a way to change the world, have fun, make money and look ridicously good at the same time, you’ve just found it. Both the KaosPilots and Roskilde Festival have a longstanding tradition in social innovation and I’ll gladly vouch for them being awesome, I’ve attended both university and the festival for years ;)
This year Roskilde Festival(June 30 till July 3 with the warm-up starting three days prior to that) has chosen to focus on cpoverty and inequality, and the fact that even in Denmark one of the world’s richest countries, poverty and inequality are issues that needs to be addressed. Your challenge is to communicate this in a way that make spectators think about poverty and inequality in their surroundings.
Create a piece of work that clearly communicates the need for creating new ideas that reduce poverty - win your ticket and join our team of Rapid Visualizers!
The Rapid Visualizers team makes quick visualizations of the ideas that are created by Festival guests in the Lab during the warm-up days before the Festival. The visualizations could be drawings, renderings, animations, videos, photos etc. You will be part of a team of creative people and you are encouraged to have as much fun as possible.
Send your entry to creative@roskildesociallab.dk before June 13th
The best submissions will be part of our exhibition and we will invite the best visualizers to join our team and get a free ticket for 2011

Great imagery - infographic on whether or not the Danes thinks its ethical to wear religious symbols in public professions
Designer Peter Orntoft: “The project deals with data from a list of the social related interests of the Danish people. The list is the result of an opinion poll from a major consultancy company in Denmark. I have used the context of specific opinion polls within each interest to shape and design diagrams. By doing so the receiver understands more layers of information about the data.

Of course the glass is half-full. News from the most and 11th happiest countries in the world
Posititive Posters is an initiave I have stumbled upon a couple of weeks ago and I meant to blog about it for a while. And now that I’m in Denmark, the world’s happiest country, this just fits perfectly. PP was founded back in 2009 in Melbourne, Australia (which ranks 11th on the happiest country in the world index) by graphic designer Nick Hallam. The simple and appealing purpose of the poster contest:
We want to give graphic designers an outlet to create freely, and to use their skills to inspire, challenge and make a positive difference in a non-commercial way.
And here are some examples:
You can also submit your own poster: http://positive-posters.com/submit/
donate (PP is a non-profit): http://positive-posters.com/submit/
and shop (starting next week): http://positive-posters.com/news/online-store-launch/
