There is not much to explore in a country that's as clean as Singapore in terms of corruption. However, II chose to concentrate on the menace of match-fixing in football (soccer), as it was something focussed on in the news at the time within the country.
In the poster series, the main graphical element was something immediately recognizable in the sport itself: the studs, the jersey and the scorecard. The idea of fixing a game was highlighted through the numbers and the dollar sign, making it seem like that particular player or the referee had been bribed. This was accompanied with the slogan ‘Play to win, don’t pay to win,’ encouraging the audience to keep the true spirit of sport alive.
The postcards acted like the red and yellow cards from the game itself, signifying to the audience that match-fixing is as bad as a ‘foul’ during a game, and could get you eliminated from the match itself.
One of the posters won a merit prize at the CPIB Singapore's 'Do Your Best To Stamp Out Corruption' Poster-Slogan Contest in June 2013.
These are the three posters that are part of the series.
The first poster won a merit prize at the 'Do Your Best to Stamp Out Corruption' competition launched by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, Singapore.
The postcards which look like the red and yellow cards given out during a football match when a foul is committed.
