In a green book!

I’m pleased to announce that the logo I did for Kids Think Big was recently printed in a book called The Big Book of Green Design.

My logo for Kids Think Big was printed in "The Big Book of Green Design"

Here is my review of the book, as posted on Amazon:

The authors of The Big Book of Green Design take a wide view of “green” design, including both works that promote eco-conscious products and companies (full disclosure: this is where my contribution falls, on page 103) and pieces that are green within the design itself.

Because of this broad approach, the book contains some examples that I feel have only one of two qualities required. That is, they are promoting something green, but the design is unremarkable, or the design is gorgeous, but the eco-friendliness of the product is borderline.

However, for the most part the examples in this book are beautiful, inspiring and wide-ranging: packaging, posters, products, apparel, and even event/environment design.

The book itself is also nicely designed, with a very solid bare-bones cover.

I would recommend this book for any designer with an inclination towards eco-friendly printing and packaging, or who hopes to develop a niche of “green” clients.
