Graphic designer in times of ecological crisis.

Abstract

Global climate changes are one of the most important challenges for humanity right now. This paper examines the role of graphic designers in the fight for climate justice as well as the visual language and graphic tools for eco-activism. The case study approach was used to show the power of graphic design in shaping people’s minds and opinions. The text also researches the responsibilities of graphic designers and ways to design sustainably. The paper used not only academic publications and books, but it reaches for information from real life. It describes several social activities which were conducted to deliver materials for thoughts and analysis. Since the number of sources on the described topic is limited and considering how quickly the environmental situation changes the text put emphasis on research on the current social situation. A big part of research is based on the author’s actions.
