Designers are the creators of everything around us. What we see, what we use, what we buy. Graphic designers have an immense amount of power to send messages that influence the world around us. That's a huge responsibility!

Why not use this power that you possess to fuel REAL change and send only messages of GOOD? Think about the potential changes that could occur if we all worked together to get behind this.

Don't wait another minute, and don't get left behind! Start learning how to be a world-changer now and live your life free in the knowledge that you are designing for good. The world is changing, it's time for us to step up and choose the right direction.

At the end of this course, students will be able to...

  • Design for social change, environmental conservation and economic development
  • Design for GOOD and design for REAL global needs
  • Appreciate their responsibility and role in shaping the world we live in
  • Practice a range of sustainable design methods and apply them to modern communication design projects
  • Create a comprehensive sustainable design strategy for clients

  • Attract like-minded clients and collaborators who share their philosophy and values
  • Encourage demand for sustainable design in a global marketplace

What do you get for your money?

30 lectures (2.5 hours of content) on how to change the world as a sustainable graphic designer + many, many wonderful and unique resources that will help guide you on this exciting journey.

Who is this course for?

This course is perfect for budding graphic and communication designers, as well as already established and experienced designers. It doesn't matter if you're still studying, or have been a designer for a long time - the course will provide you with a completely unique set of skills and depth of knowledge about sustainable graphic design.

The course does not cover any traditional graphic design principles and elements, so experienced designers will not need to worry about learning things that they already know. There is no need to be skilled in design software or tools, but some familiarity with the tools of the trade are recommended.

But I'm a digital designer...?

Some of the practices covered in the course surround print design, so these lectures won't be of as much interest to designers who are working only in the digital space.

HOWEVER, this course will still be highly educational for digital designers as they are at the forefront of the digital world, where technology is is helping us to send messages through design in a way we never have before.

If you're still not sure, get in touch with me and we can discuss whether or not the course will be of value to you.


"I was excited to find Ethical Design Co's Sustainability Design Courses as I have been looking for something like this for a long time and there is not much on offer. I have recently completed Sonja Meyer's Change the World as a Sustainable Graphic Designer Course. I think all Graphic Designers could find value in this course, whether a design student or an experienced designer. The course offers heaps of resources for running a more sustainable and compassionate business and highlights the power we have as designers to make a difference. I hope that Ethical Design Co. will come out with more courses and resources in the future."
