Realizing Blessings

Have you ever stopped to think on your drive home from work or class just how blessed you truly are? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you were born as someone else with more shortcomings? This set of billboards really can put things into perspective just by glancing at them. In all three billboards, you see a side-by-side comparison of figures seemingly in the same similar pose, but in drastically different situations. The right always shows people enjoying life, while the left depicts the hardships that many people have to suffer through, based on their location. These situations are based on what family you were born into. You don't really have a choice how you are raised or what world you are living in. I love how simple, yet striking these designs are. The website for Save the Children Foundation is listed at the bottom of each image in bold white lettering. The function of these designs is to make an impact and make you want to check out the foundation's website, maybe even donate money towards their cause.
