DO GOOD <del>DESIGN</del>: A CALL TO ACTION
06.01.2009 News
Berkeley (United States) - On 2 January 2009, Peachpit announced the publication of Do Good Design: How Designers Can Change the World, a provocative book that explains why the largest crises we are facing today have design at their core. Author and Icograda Treasurer David B. Berman offers a powerful and hopeful message that will inspire readers to do good design in 2009 and beyond.
Designers create so much of what we see, what we use, and what we experience. How did design help choose a president? Why are people buying houses they cannot afford? Why do U.S. automakers now struggle to compete? Why do we really have an environmental crisis? Design matters. Like never before.
In this time of unprecedented environmental, social, and economic crises, designers can choose what their profession will be about: inventing deceptions that encourage more consumption - or helping repair the world.
An AIGA Design Press book, Do GoodDesign is published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA.
Readers can become involved in the Do Good movement, take the online pledge, and learn more by visiting www.davidberman.com/dogood.
Do GoodDesign is now available at Peachpit.com, amazon.com, as an ebook via Safari Books Online, and at other retailers nationwide.
