First of all, this book didn’t satisfy my needs. I was expecting visuals, something that shows examples.. instead of this I saw a lot of texts, it is generally about after graphic design process, not about designing process. I was expecting some environmental friendly packages, products, posters, papers, creative ideas and etc.. Secondly, t was totally black and white. It was like a photocopy book. The cover and last 3 or 4 pages are colored. It is so ridiculous for us, as graphic designers to look at such a black and white photocopy book.In general I can say that you can also find such an information on the internet, you don’t have to give that money for such black and white “green” “graphic design” book!

Finally a book on graphics for working designers. Though beautifully crafted, it’s not just another pretty picture-book. A readable, actionable, must-have.

A must read for all graphic designers and students. Dougherty brings you back to the importance of creating and delivering meaningful messages rather than creating more stuff. Redefines Green Design as something that is not only environmentally friendly but also socially responsible. Also provides specific strategies for choosing materials such as paper and ink and binding.

As time rolls on, everything is going green, including art. “Green Graphic Design” is a look at how graphical design is one of the many industries becoming more and more environment-friendly. Eco-friendly inks are only the start of it; author Brian Dougherty says one does not have to sacrifice artistic merit or the client’s wishes in order to stay ahead of the eco-friendly game. A must for the artist who cares for the environment as much as his or her work, “Green Graphic Design” is a top pick.
