Designers Against Coronavirus
Relative in use for the book version of Designers Against Coronavirus (DAC), a self-initiated project by CRSL Carosello LAB, launched at the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic to inspire and unite people through beauty and creativity.
During the quarantine period, our team engaged remotely in the creation of this project, a challenge against time. The idea was born on March 25 and was implemented and launched in a few days thanks to an excellent team work. In less than two weeks, more than 2,000 proposals have been sent: after careful revision, today the digital archive presents more than 350 works from 44 different countries. These include illustrators and designers of the caliber of Malika Favre, M/M Paris, Gio Pastori, Anagrama Studio, Akatre and many others. In the first month, the website received more than 20,000 unique visits and the Instagram profile designers.against.coronavirus over 7,000 followers.
The most important goal of DAC, in fact, is to raise funds to fight the virus epidemic, by supporting the Italian Red Cross, through a direct donation button on the initiative’s website.
Given the success of the Instagram page, CRSL Carosello Lab decided to transform the digital archive into a book, to leave a physical testimony of the project while continuing to raise funds for the Italian Red Cross.
