Sustainability & Green Design for Creatives
& how we can make a difference
Panel Discussion & Networking Reception
Thursday, October 16th, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Pratt Institute Manhattan Campus,144 W. 14th Street, Room 213

How do we as a community of working graphic artists, art directors and designers find new methods to conserve our natural resources, so that the earth we live on is not depleted or permanently damaged.

Join us as a panel of experts from Mohawk Paper, the Lowe-Martin Group, Pratt Institute’s Academic Director of Sustainability and The Vox Collective discuss promoting sustainable practices in the graphic arts.

* How conventional materials and processes impact on the environment and human health, and which ones are the most important to reduce.
* The fundamental principals of a good, sustainable design practice.
* How artists can be educated, and can educate others, on socially aware and sustainable practices.
* The brand impacts of sustainable design, and how to avoid consumer and media backlash for perceived public problems.

Together we can find ways to make a difference, and contribute to saving the environment.

Networking Reception — Refreshments will be served.
