GREEN GRAPHIC DESIGN
At Studio Hibiscus, sustainability is at the heart of everything I do.
Both my green web and print design practices aim to reduce environmental impact while achieving high-quality results.
Ethical design
Ethical design is a general term that includes eco, sustainable, green, and culturally intelligent, while emphasising creative and innovative design solutions.
Sustainable graphic design
Sustainable graphic design is the application of sustainability principles to graphic design.
It considers the environmental impacts of graphic design products such as printed materials and digital applications.
