SustainAble: A Handbook of Materials and Applications for Graphic Designers and Their Clients

Author: Aaris Sherin

Sustainable design is gaining prominence as a pivotal issue for the future of contemporary practice at the best design schools and at professional design conferences.

Graphic designers and their clients are increasingly demanding sustainable solutions. Designers want to address these needs when presenting their work for consideration. As businesses continue to adapt to and provide environmental solutions with their own products, they are demanding it from their creative partners, and designers need to be on the forefront of these initiatives by being well informed.

SustainAble provides the information they need to be ahead of the curve on sustainability issues, inform them on sustainable applications and to approach the issue of sustainability in the areas of paper, printing, formats, materials, inks, and executions.

MoMA again

It has been always my favorite place with some reasons.
I feel free to be in MoMA and this is what I think Museum should be to people.

Now, special exhibition on Dali's painting is going and some others will be coming soon.

Again in USA (New Jersey)



This is a house where I will be staying for a month before I found new place for my family.



And it is quite close from Pal Park Broadway which is composed of Korean things.
Shila Jegua and other Korean restaurants are welcoming me.
I don't feel like I am in USA. ^^

희망제작소 부설 소기업발전소는 8일 서울 프레스센터 지역홍보센터에서 `제1차 희망소기업 지원 사업` 대상자로 선정된 20개 소기업과 지원 협약식을 갖고 본격적인 경영지원을 약속했다.소기업발전소는 이들 업체가 매출을 올리고 사업 역량을 강화할 수 있도록 판로 개척, 디자인 개발, 홍보 및 재무관리 부문에서 사회적으로 인정받은 중견기업과 전문가의 도움을 제공할 예정이다.이날 협약식에는 인터넷 쇼핑몰 인터파크와 한국디자인진흥원도 동참해 소기업들에 대한 쇼핑몰 입점 및 판촉 교육, 디자인 개선작업 등에 대한 지원을 약속했다.희망제작소 박원순 상임이사는 "앞으로 기업들의 전문성 기부를 촉진하는 한편 대안적 가치를 지닌 기업들을 더 많이 찾아내 지원 하겠다"며 "고기를 잡아주는 것이 아닌 고기를 낚는 법을 가르쳐주는 첫 신호탄이 될 것"이라고 말했다. 공익적 목적을 추구하는 지역 소기업과 사회적 기업, 대안 기업을 육성하기 위해 설립된 소기업발전소는 지난 4일 농산물 가공업체, 토종 특산품 개발업체, 인문사회과학 전문 서점 `그날이 오면' 등 20개 업체를 1차 지원대상으로 선정했다
