We’re delighted to announce that we’re featured in this month’s Computer Arts Projects (Issue 152). Some time ago we were approached by Anne Wollenberg of CAP to get involved in the issue with some insight into the world of environmentally responsible graphic design as well as a general Q&A on the subject. To have a read yourself and a peak at our featured work we’re on pages 60-65, not to mention a quick word from myself on the Gmund Bier paper range as well (page 9).

“For many print designers, eco-friendly options are also increasingly important, so we’ve embraced that trend here with a special focus on green design, not to mention practical tutorials for making the most of recycled stock, minimal ink coverage and smart folding techniques.”

Anne Wollenberg’s article discusses the many ways a designer can make a printed item less carbon-hungry! All in all a great read.

Thanks to Anne and CAP from the Root Studio team!
