Workshop

Today we had a workshop thinking about alternatives of what we'd created before.

Graphic design group(me and Olivia) talked about Wooden Dingbats which is a sign made of MDF board.

I thought I understood the idea of sustainability but actually it was really hard to think about how this wooden sign could be sustainable. We focused on the material itself and found an alternative called ECO board (http://www.eco-boards.eu/) which is strong as MDF but made from waste of agricultural products. I don't think this makes the wooden sign itself sustainable but at least if we use the recycled material it could reduce the number of trees being cut down.

It was interesting to think about the process how this material is made and came from where and also think about eco-friendly alternatives.
