After nearly two years of planning and research, Re-nourish.com has finally relaunched its new site, making it the graphic design industry’s only comprehensive resource on sustainable graphic design theory and practice.
We’d like to give a shout-out to CUDO Advisory Board member Eric Benson (also professor in the design department of UIUC) who has been one of the key developers of this initiative. Congrats on the launch!
The site offers graphic designers access to practical, reliable sustainable design tools, including thoroughly researched yet accessible guides to greener print, packaging, and digital design; searchable nationwide databases of greener paper and printer options; an interactive project calculator that allows users to design a more sustainable, cost-effective print project from beginning to end; and a third-party certification system that sets the bar for graphic design studios and the work they produce. Developed by a tight-knit team of design professors and working professionals, Re-nourish.com is the result of several years of research into environmental science, sustainable design best practices, and hands-on experience. With the relaunch, Re-nourish.com leads the graphic design industry into a new era of sustainability by providing designers and their clients a practical way to go green without the greenwash.
