For those of you keeping track, you’ve probably noticed I haven’t posted or been around for a while. This is due to my latest project: I was approached by a group of students from the university I graduated from asking me to help
them with a competition for an NGO. The group was to create a presentation that explained a solution to the world water crisis. Winning the competition meant getting the project funded by Water.org. I liked the idea and got on board.
Much to my surprise the project needed much more than a presentation, a video had to be submitted explaining who the group was and the idea we came up with. So, not having much time I barricaded myself to get this video done. Now you can enjoy it, check out the solution we came up with and even vote for our solution! The solution is actually a really good approach to solving the world water crisis; you see, 1 out 4 people die of a water related desease a year; that is a quarter of the world’s population. A huge problem. Water.org has already helped 1,000,000; with this solution we want to reach more that 100,000,000 people in the next 5 years. Help us make a difference.
Until next time,
Byron Stanford for Project Presentation

sudhaYour typography is good and clean and polished, for sure, but I feel the presentation of the words doesn’t really reflect the meaning. I only just learned about typography now, so I’m no expert, but isn’t it meant to bring greater clarity and meaning to the words through a visual medium?

Byron StanfordYes Sudha, you’re totally right. This was my first attempt and a rushed one at that, since I was under a tight schedule to produce it. But I’ve learned great lessons from all the mistakes I commited in it. I’m looking forward to the next kinetic typography project to see how I can improve.
