Description
The economic impacts of climate change are becoming more acute as we progress through the 21st Century. The graphic design field is not immune to this threat. There is a real economic motivator to find sustainable solutions to visual communication production in the coming years to significantly reduce emission and environmental impacts. A new sustainable graphic design certification can mobilize graphic designers by educating and organizing a community of designers focused on transforming visual communication products. Graphic designers can leverage the certification as a way to differentiate themselves within the market and build demand for sustainable designs to help clients and businesses find ways to embrace sustainable practice for themselves. The certification can create a pathway for designers to improve and evolve established graphic design practices continuously. The certification program creates an opportunity for a new organization, dedicated to promoting sustainable graphic design, building a reputation of innovation, and cultivating a thriving community of discussion around solving industry challenges.
