Trash Calendar
Yurko Gutsulyak created a nice calendar where every day is a new trash bag an every month is a roll of 31, 30 or 28 trash bags. The Trash Calendar consists of 12 rolls and is divided into 4 quarterly sets with 3 months-rolls. The date is printed on every bag so that you can see it when the bag is placed into the trash bin. We hope the idea can go further with more environmental amends and eco-friendly options like changing plastic for paper with using non-toxic inks. Anyway, the concept is well done and inspiring.

Creative response to crisis: Help Japan
Apart from that I completely agree with Johnson Banks studio statement "Disaster = poster?" about the fact that hopefully only "some" designers speculate on a tragedies by applying their charity posters to graphic design awards and competitions, we see the positive reaction from the creative community itself on a Japan crisis. For example check special collection of creative work posted on Behance in response to this tragedy - some of which are for sale, with proceeds going to relief funds.
