Do Good Design
A Radio Interview with David Berman

David Berman - Do Good Design

How did design help choose a US president?

Why are people buying houses they cannot afford?

Why do U.S. car makers now struggle to compete?

Why do we really have an environmental crisis?

Design matters. Like never before.

Today, according to designer and author David Berman, everyone is a designer - and the future of civilization is our common design project.

On Point & Click Radio, host Bob Laughton interviews David Berman, author of Do good Design - published in December 2008 by AIGA/New Riders/Peachpit Press.
