Positive visualisations
Hi everyone,
I am writing an article and also starting up a project about positive visualisations as an avenue for change, as opposed to only the gloom and doom images prevalent in the media.
The goal is to get people thinking about what kind of world they want, instead of only what they do not want…
It would be great if any of you felt like contributing!

"Yes, there seems to be a trend there! I guess it has to do with money too. Companies can pay for the so-called 'good' designers, while those with a genuine message often have no funds. So I guess it is up to designers to truly scrutinise…"

Greenwash
Sophie, about the greenwash, I don't have NZ examples, but I do have a document about the 6 sins of greenwash if you don't have it already. And I also did a conference presentation a little while back about climate change & graphic design, in which greenwash was featured. You can check out the presentation here: Designing a Visual Climate for Change (click 'full' for full screen viewing). Feel free to…See More

Positive futures
Hi compassionate intersectors,I am looking for people who are interested in contributing their vision of a positive future. My belief is that the more we focus on what we do want, instead of fear of a future we do not want, the better the odds for a positive outcome. Check out the project here: www.shiftshaping.orgView contributions here.What do people think?…See More

I'm in Copenhagen at the moment and spring is approaching. It is still bloody freezing but the sun is slowly taking over. It is beautiful!
I'm actually sketching on a contribution right now. It is not easy to visualize the environmentally regenerative, socially just, spiritually fulfilling and economically prosperous society on a single page, so it may take some time before I get it right;)
I love the EcoMag steady state totem!

I'm also an Aus/NZ hybrid, usually based between Melbourne and Wellington, but studying my Masters in Sustainability in Sweden at the moment. I have fantasies about living in the forest of Northern NSW at some point in the next years, so will get in touch if I ever come south and north : )
