An informative leaflet which informs the general public about the procedures and officials they need to contact if they want to make a difference within their parks.
2014

When folded the front cover of the leaflet is populated with a group of people, clothed in bold reds, blues and yellows all sharing the common thought of helping the parks which is expressed by using a cartoon speech bubble. This provides a contrast to the textured green in the background which is intended to represent shrubbery. Once unfolded into poster form, there are illustrations of people and animals using and enjoying a park, whilst high rise buildings comprising the background of the piece provide the information necessary to increase public understanding.

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.

If it is noted that improvements need to be made to parks, the majority of the residents of New York do not know how to insight change, or who to go to, to be heard and listened to. The leaflet acts as a means of informing all people, of all backgrounds on all aspects which are needed to achieve these improvements.
Created and designed by Elana Schlenker and Leslie Wood.
