Praise for Do Good Design
“...just the right measure of passion and reticence...excellent.” - Ken Garland, author, First Things First manifesto
David Berman, in this lively visual narrative, reveals for us the power of design to drive consumption and some of our unbecoming behavior of recent decades. Yet, more importantly, he speaks of the extraordinary potential to design to change the world, leading human behavior toward our aspirational destinies." - Richard Grefe, executive director, AIGA
“I love this book. David is a regular guy like us, who cares about the world. Buy it and actually read it!” - Eric Karjaluoto, smashLAB / DesignCanChange.org
“Very good book!”
—Sophie Thomas, Three Trees Don’t Make A Forest
"A fine read" - Steven Rosenberg, past president, Society of Graphic Designers of Canada
