Low Carbon Design
1403 København K
As designers, we are trained to empathize with the people we design for, creating meaningful experiences that solve problems. Despite this high level of consideration, we rarely consider the impact our digital design has in terms of its carbon footprint. Let’s change that.
New tools and methods to analyze the CO2 emissions of our digital designs could usher in a new era, allowing us to ask new questions like: How might we solve real problems for real people with impactful design that doesn’t take a toll on our planet?
Join us for a half-day workshop where you will learn to utilize existing solutions and how to reduce CO2 emission in digital design, as well as how to use low carbon design as a creative constraint.
Takeaways:
An understanding of low carbon design
Ability to assess and ideate using the principles of low carbon design
Practical tools to use in reduceing the carbon footprint of your own digital solutions
