Research blog: What is green graphic design?



The article I read this week was titled What is green graphic design? by Angela Ferraro-Fanning. The article discusses simple ways a graphic designer can be more environmentally conscious when it comes to what materials they are using, how they are designing, printing and alternatives to paper products. this was personally very interesting to me because I try to be very environmentally conscious and I would like more advice on making my art more so as well. One piece of advice Ferraro-fanning gives is using white space creatively in your design more, that space will help to avoid full-bleed printing and reduce paper cost, I like this little piece of advice because I would never have thought to try and something so simple. Keeping your design simple will not only make your work more environmentally ideal but also helps to keep your designs modern looking.
