Brief Discussion Group 06.12.10

What is good? Sustainable Design is good

I want to....Encourage Graphic Designers to be more environmentally aware in their practice

-Process driven ? Embossing Debossing- not using ink ? but consider the energy that goes into embossing something? could be the same or more than just printing it?--Research point !

-Recyclable paper, soya ink, biodegradable product etc

- or just use already existing material....'waste'? eg , scraps, candy wrapprs, crisp packets?....how do you print onto those? is it possible?

-Origami? resusing packaging
-check -bottles to pens?

Monitor how much waste is collected in the studio within a week? and use the waste that's been collected?

- used books? magazines and newspaper? again, how would I print them and make them into the same kinda of format

-charity shops throw books away when there are too many copies

RESEARCH:
  • Paper
  • using 'waste' as product?
  • different ways of reusing...think,...box> hanger project

Sustainable studio equipment? with paper and printer guides?

Everyday life stuff? it should be something relatable

cost?

its a war!!!- its a revolution. WE NEED YOU


-How much can you do with a piece of paper?- one piece of an A4? what can you do? how often to do throw a piece of paper away while there is still so much white left on it?



for NEXT week:
  • where are you taking this?
  • how has it developed?
  • what has spawned from the 'what is good'
