Making Sustainability the Focus

Creating user experiences with augmented reality will soon be as ubiquitous among graphic designers as creating a business card. It's inspiring to see work from other designers doing similar things."Medusa" is an installation created by Tin Drum in collaboration with famed Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. The installation looks at the relationship between nature and art and evokes a similar experience to augmented reality.The installation is one example of the designers featured in the 19th edition of the London Design Festival. Other work showcases the work of students from the Royal College of Art who were charged with using single-use plastic to create new materials and resulted in a collection of handcrafted items that champion waste as a creative resource.The festival also features vibrant murals and artwork installed in communities throughout London that represent the diversity of people living there and celebrates multiculturalism.Climate change, sustainability, and multiculturalism are moving to the forefront in many  conversations. Graphic designers can support these efforts by looking for opportunities where they can help spread the message.
