The Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD), Washington, D.C., has published SEGD Green Paper: Best Practices, Strategies, and Scenarios for Sustainability in Environmental Graphic Design.

The green paper is a collaboration by the SEGD Green Committee, a group of SEGD members that includes designers, fabricators and materials manufacturers.

The SEGD Green Paper contains sections on key green issues for SEGD members, sustainable rating systems, strategies for green environmental graphic design and much more.

Designed to provide framework, resources and inspiration for sustainability in environmental graphic design, the SEGD Green Paper is the counterpart to its earlier publication, The ADA White Paper. It was sponsored by ASI-Modulex, along with Nova Polymers, Dixie Graphics and Accent Signage Systems.

Come join us and listen to stories, learn tricks or techniques, and get insights of what’s to come. We are the world’s second oldest profession. The folks who started the world’s oldest profession needed a sign.
