Such graphic efforts trigger greater awareness towards major issues.

Our world is in dire need of serious creative thinking that can help fight meaningless wars and increasing deplorable greed.

It's simple math indeed!

What Design 961 is seeking is a redirection of our creative communication resources toward the things that will make lives better. Toward the effort to make our world, better.
