Beyond Design Competition
For my 505 project, I decided to create a design competition that emphasizes sustainable graphic design. By creating a competition, the goal is to raise awareness and promote participation in designing sustainably. In order to partake in sustainable design, according to livingprinciples.org, there are four main categories to consider:
Environmental: Actions and issues that affect natural systems, including climate change, preservation, carbon footprint and restoration of natural resources.
Economical: Actions and issues that affect how people and organizations meet their basic needs, evolve and define economic success and growth.
Cultural: Actions and issues that affect how communities manifest identity, preserve and cultivate traditions, and develop belief systems and commonly accepted values.
Social: Actions and issues that affect all aspects of society, including poverty, violence, injustice, education, healthcare, safe housing, labor and human rights.
Beyond Design Competition is partnering with the REVERB student show on May 10th and 11th.
Here’s how to enter:
Submit your work into the REVERB student show by using the online form.
In the description box, describe how you incorporated any of the four categories (listed above) into your process and the final outcome.
Submit by April 21st, 2011
The winning project will be displayed during the student show in the Beyond Design Competition section and the winner will receive a special reward!
I’m looking forward to your participation!
Thank You,
Nate Chavez
