After the Jump > Deroy Peraza: Meaningful design for the common good.
Whether it’s education, health, poverty relief, access to clean water, climate change, human rights or social justice, organizations in these fields tackle some of the most complex problems of our time. Their stories are not only compelling, they are often critical. Many social enterprises, such as these, also diligently stockpile a treasure trove of valuable data that can potentially be extremely useful to the general public or can shed light on the impact of their work. However, the data is often locked away in spreadsheets and is usually not made accessible to the public, or at least not in a useful way. Consequently change-makers such as these need help bringing clarity to their stories and educating the public about social issues whenever possible. Whether in print or online, this data needs to be structured and edited into powerful, visually stunning narratives. And typography plays a major role in establishing clear information hierarchies and striking an engaging tone for each audience. After all, data is just data unless it both informs and inspires. Deroy Peraza is a founding partner and creative director at Hyperakt. Deroy works at the crossroads of social entrepreneurship and design and relentlessly searches for meaningful challenges. He loves juggling vastly different projects such as data visualizations, brand identities, website interfaces and inventing products such as ChampsRing.com and LetsSwap.it. http://www.hyperakt.com
