Revving Up Revenue How Activist Designers Can Improve Their Work by Learning from Sri Lanka's Car Tax Hike

As activist designers, we're always seeking innovative ways to boost our creative work. Sometimes, it's not just about new tools or techniques – it's about learning from other industries and countries that are tackling similar challenges. In this blog post, we'll explore how Sri Lanka's decision to hike car taxes can inform the world of activist design.

Sri Lanka's Economic Revival

In an effort to revitalize its economy, Sri Lanka has announced plans to liberalize vehicle imports, imposing a 300% tax on cars. This move is expected to generate significant revenue gains for the country, which has struggled with debt and economic instability in recent years.

Lessons from Sri Lanka's Car Tax Hike

So, what can activist designers learn from Sri Lanka's car tax hike? For starters, the move highlights the importance of diversifying income streams. As designers, we often rely on a single source of revenue – our design work. However, by exploring new revenue streams, such as consulting or teaching, we can reduce our financial risk and create more stability in our careers.

Diversification A Key to Success

In Sri Lanka's case, the car tax hike is expected to generate a significant portion of the country's revenue. Similarly, as activist designers, we can diversify our income streams by exploring new revenue sources, such as

Offering design services to clients outside of our usual scope
Creating and selling online courses or tutorials
Consulting with other designers or organizations on design-related projects
Developing and selling digital products, such as ebooks or software

Conclusion

Sri Lanka's car tax hike may seem like an unlikely inspiration for activist designers. However, the move highlights the importance of diversification and creative problem-solving in overcoming economic challenges. By applying these principles to our own careers, we can build a more stable and resilient design practice that is better equipped to weather any economic storm.
