TitleA Pawn Can Beat The King
BriefWe found the powerful graphic symbol that clearly connects with the story, and can show us a huge world problem in simply way. The Ukrainian Chess Federation and chess athletes themselves have a limited audience. That's why even really resonant and brave act that cost a current world champion her status, could remain unnoticed without our help.«A pawn can beat the king» — story about the big changes that a small pawn can cause. The current world champion in chess declared a boycott for Saudi Arabia and refused to play in a country that violates women's rights. Athlete automatically lost 2 championship titles which she had. However, she did it consciously.The most important is fast reaction to the situation. In 2 days after Ukrainian chess champion announced her decision, we created a laconic poster to support her position and draw attention to huge, modern world problem.The main achievement of the poster: it withdrew the discussion of women rights violation from the narrow sports community to the grass-roots.
