Do Good Design: How Designers Can Change the World
"Do Good Design will now proudly be in the library of the Bauhaus."--Dr. Walter PriggeBauhaus Dessau Foundation"In Yiddish, a mensch is a person of integrity and honor and it seems David Berman fills the bill.  His book is lively and humorous and sly too because while it makes you think and adjust your perspective, it includes the reader on several levels.  Changing the world for the good never seemed more appealingly possible."--Edward AsnerPast President, Screen Actors Guild"Timely, relevant, and necessary. Well done!"--Don Ryun ChangPresident of Icograda"I believe that the real value of this book does not reside in the plethora of data and information that it contains but rather in the compelling biographical account of the author’s passionate journey to discover and advocate how design and designers can contribute to doing good in a fragile world."--Jacques LangeFormer President of Icograda (2005-2007)"David Berman, in this lively visual narrative, reveals for us the power of design to drive consumption and some of our unbecoming behavior of recent decades. Yet, more importantly, he speaks of the extraordinary potential to design to change the world, leading human behavior toward our aspirational destinies."--Richard GreféExecutive director, AIGA  the professional association for design“...just the right measure of passion and reticence...excellent.”--Ken GarlandAuthor,First Things First manifesto"A fine read."--Steven RosenbergPast President, Society of Graphic Designers of Canada"I think the book is just great!"--Mervyn KurlanskyCo-founder, Pentagram UKPast-President, Icograda"It should be required reading, not only for all aspiring designers... but even more so for the established stars."--Pete KercherFounder, EIDD - Design For All Europe
