La Perle des Antilles | Philanthropy Poster
La Perle des Antilles is a Haiti relief poster which was created to commemorate those affected by the Haiti Earthquake of 2010. It is my contribution to The Haiti Poster Project and is being sold to benefit the victims affected by the earthquake.
The Haiti Poster Project was launched three days after the January 12th, 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The project is a collaborative effort by the design community to help effect change through our work. Signed and numbered, limited edition posters have been donated by designers and artists from around the world. All money raised will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
The concept for this poster is hope lies beneath which was inspired by Haiti's nickname, La Perle des Antilles. La Perle des Antilles translated from French to English means The pearl of the Caribbean. A pearl is symbolic of something precious that is sought after. I chose to use it in my design to represent the people affected by this earthquake. I've incorporated several Easter eggs in this design revealing facts about this earthquake and if you look closely, you may find a silhouette of Haiti's country.
