The republic of Haiti was hit with a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday, January 12th. Most of the necessities of life, such as food, shelter and water have been reduced to near nothing and the poor country is now struggling with rescue efforts and the dispersal of much-needed supplies and aid. They have very little to work with.
For the next week, artists like Chuck Anderson are donating all money they make from selling their wares to the disaster relief fund to help Haiti, and Signalnoise will be doing the same. 100% of sales from the Signalnoise Store for the next week will be donated directly in support of Haiti. I will also include an 11 x 17 poster version of the ‘For Haiti’ design. Please note, the photocopied photograph used in my design was originally taken by Maggie Steber.

It’s easy to feel separated from things like this based on geography, but it doesn’t mean we’re not all in this together. Every bit counts. My heart goes out to you, Haiti.
Please note, all posters will be shipped out of Halifax next week, starting January 25th.
may GOD accept your generosity :)
This is a great thing, James. Thanks so much. I just got back from a missions trip to Haiti a few weeks ago and my heart is so heavy. I would love to order a poster of the graphic you created above: “Signalnoise for Haiti.” Is that a possibility? Thanks again.
Way to go, man. And that’s a beautiful piece at the top of the post too.
Beautiful initiative James, it’s good to see that people care and try to help when the bad times come around.
James,

Thank you for doing this and for inspiring us to do the same. And that’s a beautiful picture at the top (as ever).
Very inspiring and thoughtful, great job.
As a Haitian-Canadian graphic designer, thank you so for support of the Haitian people. You have inspired me to do something similar to raise funds, not sure what to do yet but maybe I can get some critique from you once I have it done?
I would really like to purchase the image above too.
