Devin MacDonald contacted the city of Ann Arbor with an idea concerning his Senior Project for the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. He wanted to gather all of the sustainability information that was scattered across many forms and mediums into a single piece. The city liked the project and provided the necessary funding to print 10,000 copies and is arranging for full distribution in the fall of 2009.

Brandon Durham’s comment is:

Really gorgeous. Combines two of my favorite things: Printing on newsprint and using only two colors. Lovely!

Mmmmm information design...love it.

What a great idea to get funding from the city. Likewise, nice job City of Ann Arbor for recognizing a good investment when they see one.

It's heartening to see a student getting out there and making his project happen in the real world - I suspect he'll go far. It seems like a useful idea well executed.
