Hi all,
In case someone is interested in sustainable graphic design, please see below this interesting on-line resource.
Best regards,
Jose
Hi all,
I'd like to encourage you to visit a website I and two partners recently launched to serve working designers everywhere:
http://www.re- nourish.com
Essentially, we've spent a year and a half developing an independent, online resource for graphic designers looking to integrate sustainability into their everyday practice. We've tried to bridge the gap between sustainable design theory and practice by creating a set of (heavily researched) primers on everything from paper and print to packaging; searchable paper and printer databases; case studies so you can see what other people are doing; and a project calculator that helps you reduce paper use/cost on projects (and save them to track over time). Our goal is to make this info accessible to as many designers as possible.
We're constantly adding/improving based on the input we get from both users and subject matter experts, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. And we've gotten a lot of input - overwhelmingly positive, thankfully. In fact, Re-nourish is now up for a Cooper Hewitt People's Choice Design Award:
This is particularly exciting for us not so much for the win itself, but because if Re-nourish was to win this award - from such a venerable institution, and the People's Choice at that - we think it would send a really strong message to both the rest of the industry and the public at large that sustainable design is truly, fundamentally important.
If you're so inclined, please do check out the entrants and place your vote: http://peoplesdesig naward.cooperhew itt.org/2009/ nominee/2128
Thanks so much,
