Probably my best find to date. Renourish are a company all about sustainability in graphic design. The site is a great source for inspiration and features two of the best examples of 'sustainable graphic design' I have seen yet. In this post I will writing up these two wonderful pieces of design, inspired by sustainability and the environment.
1. Design team Barnhart develop this business promotion booklet for the eco-friendly and 100% natural burger joint Larkburger.

Dedication and creativity, a mix of computer and hand crafted imagery working together to create a visually intriguing piece. I think the piece hits the brief spot on and is a fantastic example of how sustainability as a theme can lend itself for graphic design.
I think the textures created here give a great 'one-off' feel and for a concept model work so well. They used an in-house laser printer, however I think Vegetable inks would have worked well too lending there duller tones. Well worth reading the interview with the designers.
2. Johnson Banks Ram-punched Christmas Trilogy.
From the same company that I wrote this on. Brilliantly designed cards with the graphic designer in mind. I think the cards work extremely well. Some thing that would usually be very expensive and environmentally un-friendly, is made completely the opposite through use of re-using. With the envelopes to match I am truly impressed by these designs. I like the way the trash appeals to the sender and receiver in the first instance and once again through simple innovation.
You could apply this idea across a wide-range of subjects and the target audience would be that of the topic of the magazine that has been used. I also wonder weather second hand books or old comics would have a similar effect.
