Urban Omnibus, a brooklyn-based blog shared this project with me by designer Candy Chang and Sean Basinski of the Street Vendor Project. The goal was to create an educational resource for vendors that clarifies the rules and their rights when confronted by police officers. Creating information graphics, I think can be really challenging. But this team did a great job illustrating all of the information the vendors would need to know in a dynamic and informative way. The project took over five months and the Street Vendor Project now uses and distributes these posters as an information tool.

what a great project! I bet this will be copied around the country in other big cities. Nice story. Thanks.
I think this is an absolutely amazing idea. How did they distribute the final product though? I'm just trying to think through the logistics of administering a project like that. I know it's possible to use neat tools like an online print-on-demand store (http://www.digitallizard.com/small-medium-business.php) but I'd love to know how they pulled it off.
wow! this may come handy when you really need the info. this is really great. i even love the design and the illustration.
