As the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan unfolds 5,730 miles away, it’s hard not to feel a little helpless.
However, 10 University of Lincoln students believed that by combining the skills they have learnt on their course, they could uniquely send help to Japan.
The ten graphic design students created LSAD Japan (Lincoln Students Art and Design), a poster design fundraiser.
The students decided to create posters and sell them to raise money and awareness of what is currently happening in the Far East.
Each student has designed their own poster, with their own slogans and Japanese-related design on.
The posters are not yet ready for purchase, but will be going on sale over the weekend on Photobox Gallery.
Sunjay Morar is one of the students involved in pioneering this project.
He said: “We just wanted to help in any way we can; it’s terrible looking at the TV screen thinking that we can’t do anything to help these people in their time of need.
“So we thought how could we do something, and in the end it was really obvious, that’s how LSAD Japan began.”
Another team member Talveer Uppall said: “The idea for the posters was a simple one.
“We thought that in a student city where a lot of posters are sold, we could really make an impact.”
“We just really hope we can now,” he added.

North East Lincolnshire has become the first upper-tier council to approve a devolution deal for Greater Lincolnshire, despite multiple concerns raised by opposition members.
Councillors voted on the deal, which would see a mayor elected for a new authority covering Lincolnshire, North and North East Lincolnshire authorities. This new setup will control funding for housing, job creation, and public transport, including buses.
Residents have slammed a Home Office engagement meeting regarding its plans for the RAF Scampton asylum centre, labelling it “propaganda.”
The government agency scheduled two sessions at the Lincolnshire Showground for Thursday evening: the first targeted local residents identified as vulnerable by the Department for Health and Social Care, and the second was for local business owners. However, attendees left the meetings visibly annoyed.
