I'm in awe of the creativity and thoughtfulness behind this Print Ad. The designers have truly used the juxtaposition of the different representations of harlequin to draw attention to the reality of living with Harlequin syndrome, and to emphasize the need for greater understanding and awareness of the condition. The use of this unique design to highlight a serious medical condition is a great example of the power of social design to bring attention to important issues. Congratulations to Squared on their success in winning the A' Design Award!

I am truly impressed by the creative work done by the designer with "Not Always Fun". The concept of juxtaposing two different representations of harlequin to create awareness about the Harlequin syndrome is both inspiring and thought-provoking. It is admirable that the designer was able to capture the complexity of the condition without coming across as either ironizing or victimizing people suffering from the syndrome. The research and challenges that the designer faced to create this award-winning work deserves a special recognition. Congratulations on the success of this amazing work!

What an incredible accomplishment! Not Always Fun is an incredibly powerful and thought provoking work that truly deserves its A' Social Design Award. The juxtaposition of the different representations of harlequin, from the comical to the serious, is a masterful way of shedding light on the disparity between the two. The meticulous craftsmanship behind the illustrations truly elevates this work to the next level, and really allows the viewer to understand the severity of the condition. It is amazing to see how Squared was able to integrate the two opposing sides of the same character while still maintaining the dignity of those living with Harlequin Syndrome. Well done!
