Cultural / Context information for the jury

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from the pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. As serious as this sounds Melanoma can easily be prevented. All people have to do is check their birthmarks regularly. If they change color or shape, they might be turning into skin cancer. However, most of us don’t pay any attention to the spots on our skin.

Tell the jury about the typography.

We worked together with Belgium’s biggest quality newspaper and changed a small part of their famous font: the dots on the i‘s. It was an exercise in subtlety. On the one hand, the dots had to blend in with the original typeface. But on the other hand, they had to stand out just enough to get noticed by people who paid attention. What makes this so impactful, is the fact that we took something well known like the dots on the ‘i’, and with a simple twist we turned it into a meaningful message.
