We are delighted to announce the publication of our ebook: Graphics Gone Green:
Ways to Go Green Without Losing Your Shirt.

The momentum to reverse the damage to our planet has never been greater. Content providers seek out studios, agencies, and printers that have a green track record. And agencies, because they are both print buyers and print brokers, are powerfully positioned to affect change. What do you need to know to make your mark and make sustainable changes?

Graphics Gone Green follows the workflow of a designer, from the studio to the press, with facts, suggestions, examples, and solutions to lessen the impact of the graphic and printing industry on the environment. Our ebook is designed specifically for on-screen readers with large sans-serif type, bold colors, easy navigation and many many links. You will be amazed to see the formidable accomplishments of eco-innovators in design, packaging and print. And, if you’re ready to transform your environment, you’ll find the information you need for an easy and sustainable transition.

Author Rita Amladi, a long-time partner of Rods and Cones, wrote many books on workflow systems, Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, and color management. She shares a byline with Erica Aitken, co-founder of Rods and Cones, and graphic designer. Rick Zarella was our invaluable editor and researcher.
