This anthology tells the history of the project - started in 2007 - through all the posters selected by an international jury of renowned graphic designers, including Massimo Vignelli and Alain Le Quernec, together with original texts and an illustrated account of the initiative. A reference book for whoever searches for a source for the communication of social causes, backed up by an online database with all 10,000 entries, and an inspiration for graphic studios and young graphic designers.
