Do Good Design: How Design Can Change The World is a book by Canadian designer David B. Berman, with a foreword by Erik Spiekermann, published by Peachpit Press in January 2009. The book was co-published by AIGA, the world's largest-membership national design organization, as part of the AIGA Press / New Riders cooperation.

Contents

Focus

The book focuses on design, branding, and social responsibility, and often makes connections with environmentalism. Berman pays special attention to the effect of design in the developing world, the deeds and misdeeds of the Coca-Cola Corporation, and women in advertising. Some ideas in Berman's book derive from those of Ken Garland, author of the First Things First manifesto in the 1960s. Garland was the first person to take the Do Good Pledge on the book's Web site.

Summary

The book is divided into three sections, ending with a call for all professionals to sign the online Do Good Pledge, which has been signed by notable designers, including Ken Garland.
