We would like to thank them both for  generously putting their hard work and design skills to such good use.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Stefanie and David are well known around the world for their  design work, and they have worked together on various projects. The  money raised went towards the construction costs of the school\u2019s new  classrooms, along with text books for the pupils.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanie is also donating a share of profits to the school from her  posters on show at the Pick Me Up exhibition at London\u2019s Somerset House.  And if that wasn\u2019t enough, she is also giving a portion of profits from  an edition of another poster \u2013 her Measuring Kraftwerk.

In her Wordbespoke project, artist Deirdre Nelson has created a  collection of people\u2019s favourite words, and has turned them into  artworks. For updates, add your details to our mailing list at <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dPDAU\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dPDAU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great to have such a variety of artists and designers helping  the school. If you have a project which you\u2019d like to use to help the  school in some way, email <a href=\"mailto:info@ganetsadventureschool.org\" target=\"_blank\">info@ganetsadventureschool.org<\/a>.  We can help provide advice, publicity and practical support. As well as  helping to support the school in Malawi, donating a proportion of  profits from your project can help you get it into more prestigious  exhibition spaces, obtain more publicity and even obtain donations of  materials from suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>The original edition of Left v Right posters has now sold out, though an updated edition of the posters is on sale at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationisbeautiful.net\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.informationisbeautiful.net\/store\/<\/a> Remember that in the US, red represents right wing politics and blue  the left wing, while in the rest of the world it\u2019s the other way round.  Versions of the poster coloured both ways are available. This new  edition does not include a donation to the school.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanie Posavec: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsbeenreal.co.uk\/index.php?\/project\/measuring-kraftwerk\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.itsbeenreal.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>David McCandless: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationisbeautiful.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.informationisbeautiful.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The designer posters created by our trustee Stefanie Posavec and information designer David McCandless have raised over \u00a32,000 for Ganet\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[491,452,492],"class_list":["post-1949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misc","tag-designer","tag-fundraiser","tag-poster"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.faceofmalawi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
