The LUNAR Elements team has recently published “The Designer’s Field Guide to Sustainability”, a tool designed to help all designers and engineers, no matter what their level of experience, design more sustainable products.

A quick note about the guide: None of these tips is a turn-key solution. They are very complex issues that often warrant added thought and discussion. Together, they provide a good start, and can help form a checklist of considerations to take along the design path to ensure that no sustainable opportunity has fallen through the cracks. Reviewed often, they can help us to make sustainability a fundamental part of our design and engineering processes.

Feel free to post thoughts, examples, criticisms or advice. All input will be collected and considered when LUNAR publishes version 2.0.

Enjoy.

A great new sketching and rendering resource is now on the web. idsketching.com has a great list of sketching essentials, videos, a blog, and more. The site at the moment is in its beta stage and will be growing over the next couple of weeks. There is some great stuff up on there, it’s worth a look. Oh and it’s all totally free.

This great resource was posted on the forums a while back. There are a ton of files and videos to browse ranging from ’symbol design’ all the way up to ‘Photoshop rendering’. Link.
