I find myself increasingly frustrated by the term “green design”, at least at it is widely being used in the graphic design industry. As I recently wrote in my own blog (drawingonexperience.com), I fear that the term is fostering a mindset that places environmentally-conscious design in a separate category than plain ol’ good design. In doing so, it may be marginalizing the very issues that it seeks to address. I believe that good design is inherently “green”, in that it includes careful consideration of the environmental and socio-cultural impacts of the piece from the project’s beginning and is executed responsibly with those concerns in mind.
