Designed for AIGA/Colorado as part of an exhibition promoting literacy, this poster deals with the small written essentials of daily living and shows how alienated an illiterate person must feel in this information age. Being unable to read is a barrier to integrating into the world. Mail, instructions, packaging, tickets, books, magazines, notices, prescriptions, warnings, maps, signs, and even notions of good and evil written in the Bible are all inaccessible to the illiterate.
