Turn your gray matter into green matter™ 
Eco graphic design is more than using eco papers and eco inks. Today’s designer needs to understand eco labels and their certification programs, know how to prepare an eco audit or environmental benefits/savings calculator, understand the role that “citizen design” plays in marketing and consumer choice, and design cyclically instead of linearly, applying cradle to cradle thinking to the creative process.
 
Day 1
 
Timber! Green speak. Label lingo: eco labels, certification programs, marks and logos. Eco inks and papers {times have changed folks!} Environmental Benefits Statements, Savings Calculators and Eco Audits {everyone wants one!} and more.
Guest speaker: Justin Tiret - New Leaf Paper
 
Day 2
 
Smart, sustainable design and best practices. CSR and citizen design. Cradle to cradle. Green tags, REC's and carbon offsets. Daily greens. Greening your creative space. Design innovations and visionaries. Introducing o2 AZ.
