Be A Green Graphic Designer

“There are three distinct ways of thinking about a graphic designer’s role: designer as manipulator of stuff; designer as message maker; and designer as agent of change. Green design is harder than “normal” design. You will have to learn more, struggle against the status quo, and possibly try things that no non in your organization has tried before. Furthermore, you will probably make some embarrassing and costly mistakes. We are frequently faced with new materials, new tools, new clients, and new audiences to reach. Design is about effecting change. Someone, somewhere is dissatisfied with the way they find things, and attempt to improve the situation by investing in design. As designers, we are trying to help people change the way people think and the way they act. Designers are uniquely positioned to shift not only our own actions, but also the actions of many others who are touched by our work, including our audiences and clients ”.

Ian Dougherty with Celery Design Collaborative , Green Graphic Design

Note:We have the power to change the brand itself. We have the power to influence the substance of a product or service. Green design at this level is about being a force for positive change.

Green everywhere - Clean up

• Plastic buckets are great for moisture-loving plants - plus, they’re free. Use kitty litter buckets, paint buckets or other bulk containers, just be sure to drill holes into the bottom to allow drainage.
• Olive oil and coffee cans are colourful and eye-catching, reflecting sunlight to give our plant a little recycled shimmer. Drill drainage holes, fill the cans with soil and they are ready to go. These containers look especially beautiful with trailing plants draped over the sides.
• Barrels are the perfect large- capacity containers for plants like potatoes that need plenty of depth to fully extend their roots. Plastic food- grade barrels with no prior petroleum or chemical contents, of the sort often used for DIY rain barrels, can be cut in half or used whole as planters and can often be acquired for free or inexpensively from restaurants.
• Old tires can be used to create raised beds when used singly or stacked on top of each other. Tires do contain heavy metals, but don’t worry about them ending up in the soil - several independent studies have found no ill effects.
• Soda, mineral water bottles can be quickly transformed into self-watering containers for seedlings and small plants. Just cut them in half, poke holes in the cap, turn the top half upside down and place it inside the bottom half. Fill the bottom half with just enough water to cover the cap. The soil will draw moisture up through the cap as needed, so you don’t have to worry about under – or overwatering.

Green everywhere - picked container from street

¨ I I have decided use old food container. I picked container from street.

Now, I discovered and forced on one interesting theme--Growing vegetables and fruit in reuse containers.Container gardening is a great way to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants even when you don’t have a lot of land to work with. The fact is you can grow your own food whether you live on a rural farm or in a tiny apartment. “You can grow your own food, No matter where you are”.

In the project, I used exaggerate way to show people “Green everywhere”. I use daily stuffs (such as old food container, junk food container. Give people visual impact and contrast. Many people feel have own vegetables far away from us, But in the fact, it easy and quick to do it. I use daily stuffs, let people feel it’s so close to our life, it is so easy to do it. We just do a little everyday, We can make the world and our life beauty, sustainable and healthy. Anyone can grow plants in containers. It is also amazing how many things can be recycled to make containers. This has all come out quite well, but after I had made them, I found take action was difficult and at times very frustrating. It took a long time to create this project. This is because I was dealing with container and seeds. I have no idea what is container suitable for grow plant? I become confused about what kind of seeds is suitable grow in the container? But, through staffs in Walworth Garden Farm I was able to get much clearer insight into my field of study.

Containers Gardening

Gardening is regaining popularity as a pastime for all types of people across the world, with gardens popping up in the most unexpected places, while the traditional image of a garden may not exactly fit into the reality of most urban environments, the fact is you can grow can grow your own food whether you live on a rural farm or in a tiny apartment. Urban gardening is all about using space wisely to regain a closer connection with your food and beautify your home. Growing vegetables in containers is one way of protecting the environment that we all share, by not only talking about it but also getting involved in planting of crops even if the land is limited in town areas. Purchasing enough containers to create the effect you want can get expensive,and why should you buy new when there are so many cheap and even free materials out there to use. Such as plastic buckets, cracked teapots and olive oil cans are just a few examples of recycled and repurposed materials that make beautiful, creative plant containers.
