The Community Box

  • Suzie Austen

The Community Box, poster and digital box were created as a response to a Monotype D&AD brief that had to celebrate a community. I chose to celebrate all communities and the power they have to help each other. The box was designed using an honesty principle where a user replaces an item in return for what they take. The concept has the potential to be used in a variety of community settings such as a church, village hall or school. Posters were designed to raise awareness about the box with the thought that the box could be rotated around several locations within one community. The visual assets incorporated sinking liquid acrylics, photography and learning to paper fold Josef Albers style through experimentation.
