Design to Renourish: Sustainable Graphic Design in Practice is a book by Eric Benson and Yvette Perullo for graphic design professionals who want to integrate a sustainable ethos into their workflow through a design process called systems thinking. This book introduces systems thinking to graphic designers where Mother Nature is the guide and inspiration for making. Design to Renourish helps us to be ethical, empathetic, and effective as a design professional for clients, the planet, and society. The book details the real life challenges of working with the client to create sustainable work through interviews with international designers in a handful of case studies that embrace a sustainable systems methodology.
