Synopsis

We Want You!

Will you join the ranks of design activists?

Doing good is too important to think of as work better left to those fictitious "other" designers. People more famous. More talented. More connected. Richer. Younger. Braver. (Insert your own mental roadblock here.) In truth, anyone can be a design activist.

It just starts with a commitment to yourself and your values. A commitment to making conscious choices and realizing how all the decisions you make as a graphic designer affect other people and the planet. It's about being awake instead of sliding by with the way things always have been done.

This book is for every graphic designer who's ever sat at a computer, thinking: Is this it? Isn't there more? It's a tool to help you figure out how to start making a difference and making a living at the same time--no matter where you live and work right now.

Just open this book and we'll help you start walking in the right direction. It doesn't have to be perfect. Little actions from a lot of people add up to big change. This isn't a contest about who's the greenest or the most radical. It's a movement, and we're inviting you to join right now.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Design Activist's Hanbook will use a compelling mix of text and project samples to address everything from ethics and visual pollution to affecting positive change at your current design job. Author Noah Scalin teaches a class about socially conscious design and has built his business around these beliefs. He's a frequent industry speaker and expert source. Socially conscious design means opening your eyes to the connections among social issues ranging from the environment and workers rights to equality and healthy food production. It's about creating a graphic design career that aligns with your beliefs and value--whatever those happen to be. Most design activism books do little more than showcase the work of a few superstar designers. But this one provides actionable steps for all the designers sitting at their computers, wishing their jobs felt a little more meaningful.
