Design for the Greater Good

Sustainability from the graphic designer’s perspective
As designers, we understand the inherent power that exists within what we produce – the power to influence behavior. And it’s why we, as designers, should be cognizant of the impact our work has – on individuals, corporations, society. Ourselves.
The (Re)designAwards are about rethinking that power and redirecting it to do the right thing by supporting and motivating the emerging ethos of a sustainable economy. This design competition is looking to recognize the best of the best in sustainable graphic design created by designers in the US.
