More About This Book

Overview

FOREWORD BY ERIK SPIEKERMANN

How did design help choose a president?
Why are people buying houses they cannot afford?
Why do U.S. car makers now struggle to compete? Why do we really have an environmental crisis?
Design matters. Like never before.

Disarming the weapons of mass deception.
Designers create so much of what we see, what we use, and what we experience. In this time of unprecedented environmental, social, and economic crises, designers can choose what their young profession will be about: inventing deceptions that encourage more consumption—or helping repair the world.

Do Good Design is a call to action:
It alerts designers to the role they play in persuading global audiences to fulfill invented needs. The book outlines a more sustainable approach to both the practice and the consumption of design. All professionals will be inspired by the message of how one industry can feel better about itself by holding onto its principles. In this provocative and dramatically-illustrated book, David Berman offers a powerful and hopeful message for all designers.

Today, everyone is a designer.
And the future of civilization is our common design project.

Do Good Design is an AIGA Design Press book, published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA. The author will make a donation of 10% of his proceeds to a not for-profit organization whose mission is in alignment with the goals of this book.

    Designers love to make things, it¿s time to make change.

    David B. Berman has been demonstrating inspired design leadership for nearly three decades and this book is no exception. After decades of volunteer work as an international ambassador for the communication design industry, Berman¿s book Do Good Design: How Designers Can Change the World is another fine example of his tendency toward helping others¿and not just graphic designers, but all of us.

    The book presents a well-researched and clearly articulated argument that design matters¿more now than ever before¿and like the First Things First manifesto referenced in Erik Spiekermann¿s foreword, Do Good Design serves as a call to action to designers everywhere to stand up, take our seat at the boardroom table and start changing the way the world looks at design.

    A chronicle of one man¿s journey as a creative professional, Berman describes his discoveries and frustrations and the wisdom they brought him. Infused with passion and sincerity, the thoughtful prose is accessible with dozens of illustrated examples and titillating photographs¿many of which taken by Berman himself during his travels.

    While much of Do Good Design delves into serious subject matter such as consumerism and its impact on the environment, global economy and society, the book itself is a light and delightful romp with a somber message for designers: Our occupation may not be the highest-paying profession, but our power and influence has increased and with it our responsibility. This book isn¿t just for designers, it¿s for anyone interested in design and its role in the world. A world in dire need of help¿help we can all provide by the choices we make and ways we behave.
