Information Visualisation - "illiteracy"

An information visualisation designed
in the form of an alphabet book aimed
at teaching illiterate people about "illiteracy"...
We as designers are privileged enough to be able to read,
write and design in the most complex of ways. Every one
deserves an opportunity to experience such an education.
 
We have the ability to change the world through design.. all
we have to do is reach out to others through our imaginations.
 
Let's help educate the illiterate
one creative letter at a time... :)
This is the dream!
