Berman<\/p>\n<p>AIGA Design Press \/ New Riders (Peachpit)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A little over four years ago I reviewed David B. Berman\u2019s important new book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertlpeters.com\/news\/do-good-design\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> on this blog. I was delighted today to receive an updated\/reprint version of this honest, hard-hitting, book\u2014together with a lovely note from David (<em>Duv<\/em> to his friends), who I have known and exchanged ideas re: design ethics with for well over 20 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do Good Design<\/em> rails against the consumptive excesses of the so-called \u201cdeveloped world\u201d and urges designers to help steer a better course for our planet\u2014before it\u2019s too late. Delivered with in-your-face directness, it presents a strong argument regarding the inherent power of design to shape our world and takes on greed, excess, and the scheming tendencies of advertising and \u201ctargeted\u201d visual communications. Full of pithy quotations, well illustrated (with wide-ranging examples of manipulative media and manufactured needs) and impressively annotated and cross-referenced, David combines his keen observation skills with courage to question the status quo, expressing his marathon call for positive change with passionate zeal. In his words, \u201cthe future of civilization is our common design project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks Duv\u2014keep up the \u201cgood\u201d work of shaping a more equitable and sustainable future!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">More info at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogoodbook.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\">dogoodbook.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do Good Design: How Designers Can Change The World by David B.
