Finally! A comprehensive green resource for graphic designers! I was delighted to be forwarded a link to renourish.
renourish is a resource for the graphic design industry. When green design is usually discussed, most people think of buildings, products or even cars, but what about packaging? Shouldn’t magazines, business cards, brochures and websites be green? At renourish, we’re helping to start the conversation on green graphic design by providing defintions, tips, and links to sustainable resources designers can use to make their work a little greener.
Brilliant! Renourish has great topics that run the gamut of paper, ink, printers, packaging, green design firms, sustainable living, etc. Having all of this info in one place is genius. Although green design is something that most designers are concerned about and interested in, I haven’t come across a comprehensive site like this before. I would like to see the site eventually include green vendors (other than paper & printing). I’ve been compiling my own list lately and I think that would be a great resource to have accessible to more designers.
Another green design link to check out run by AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Designers) here.
Wow, this is very cool! Good tip. I agree with your assessment that most designers are interested in going green… to a point. Most youngish designers I know or know of seem to be, but we still have some work to convince the older generation that it’s not just fringe!
