Abstract

My graduate research explores how sustainable principles can be more fully incorporated into professional graphic design studios. The experiments and projects that I have undertaken include both printed and digital pieces that educate the designer on the impact and importance of his/her work, as well as pieces that both promote design work and actualize sustainable principles in the final object itself. I have adhered to strict design parameters in all of these projects, using strictly organic, recycled or "sustainable" materials. This work provides a starting point for graphic designers to explore further environmentally conscious design in their daily practices.
