Informational pamphlet to raise awareness about fracking, and the effect it has on urban areas throughout the United States.
2011

Bold Block colours make a person holding a cup on the front cover with the contents of the cup being displayed almost as in a scientific study of what makes the liquid inside. The yellow of the signposting to these possibly harmful ingredients highlights the caution that one must be aware of as the result of fracking. The Interior of the pamphlet is set out somewhat like the science textbook with easily understood diagrams and illustrations which support the accompanying text.

Made in conjunction with graphic artists through Centre for Urban Pedagogy’s Public Access Design Fellowship and advocacy communities. Two projects are selected and then finalised by the jury and the design fellow is matched with the corresponding cause. CUP provides support in design and production for the four- six month projects. Each project is an educational tool and a display of design. The production costs of editing and printing are covered by CUP. Additionally, the advocacy partners involved are each given 1,000 copies to distribute amongst their constituents.

In 2012, 34 states in the United States already were using fracking and chemicals, gas and other substances contaminated water supplies and harmed all forms of life. At this point in time they started work on the Marcellus Shale which reaches from New York city to Delaware. This work could negatively affect the lives of more than 15 million people. Thus by creating this informational pamphlet more people would be aware of the risks it involves and be able to stand in opposition.
