1. Own A Colour And Help Save A Child’s Life I see a lot of innovative online fundraising activity in my day job. This one from Unicef is just so perfect in its tone, lack of friction and surprising lack of emotion I had to put my hand in my pocket and own a colour. It’s so perfect for the corporate partner too. In case you’re wondering, it’s Flaming Titian. Two suggestions: Accept paypal. Not having to put my hand in my pocket, fish out my wallet, pull out my card and then type in three unmemorable numbers is just polite. Having a non-JS/non-Flash version isn’t just a good idea for awkward gits, but it gives something prettier for Tumblr to extract when people want to post a link to it :) And not a heart-string-tugging image of kids in peril either… whatever next. Your turn now - leave a comment below with links to the colours you’ve bought, and why!
