New Eco-Style Graphics
I edited a book called ‘New Eco-Style Graphics’ for PIE Books, which is already out in Japan and will be available in April in the rest of the world.
The products featured in this book stand out among others as a result of their considered and unique graphic design: often simple but suggesting honesty and integrity. The book documents the trend of combining eco-consciousness with distinct graphic art, a trend that’s becoming more and more visible around the world.
The brands featured include: innocent smoothies, Daylesford Organic, Jamie’s, The Laundress and Green & Spring.
