While the devastating earthquake in Haiti now happened four and a half months ago, the country is far from recovered. And even though many of us sent donations in the initial days and weeks after the earthquake, help is still needed. In the same vein as the Hurricane Poster Project and the So-Cal Fire Poster Project, the Haiti Poster Project is a collaborative effort with the design community to help effect change. And the designs...well, they are pretty fabulous.
The Haiti Poster Project features signed and numbered, limited edition posters that have been donated by designers and artists from around the world. Poster prices directly correspond to remaining quantities so as the posters sell they will go up in price (prices start at $25 and eventually are increased to $2,000). All money raised will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
Here is a selection of some of our favorite prints from The Haiti Poster Project, but these are just ten from literally hundreds and hundreds of different designs. And while the designs may vary widely, all are for a very worthy cause.

Any poster from Haitian Artists?
equalityjones, that's exactly what I was wondering.
I was wondering that, too. I Googled all of the designers and studios and they are all from the US, mostly CA. But from what I hear from family that's been helping out in Haiti, things there are so hectic, even worse now that initial rush of aid and sympathy that was there right after the quake isn't there, I don't know if anyone in their right mind would be hanging around there to do design work.
FYI, I ordered print #5 (top row) after seeing this post. It just arrived today, and while it's beautiful, it's much smaller than the listed 18x24 size. It looks about 12x16. I suppose when you're doing a large charity project like this, some details fall through the cracks, but I was disappointed. Now I have to figure out a different wall space for this smaller print!
