Ecosa Artifacts Catalog

Two students' combined interests in business and graphic design opened the opportunity for Ecosa to explore the beginnings of an eco-products catalog as a sustainable business venture for the school. Carefully selected items from designs by Ecosa friends, faculty, and students would be sold through an online and paper catalog to a niche market for high-quality, ecologically-responsible goods. The project team conducted market research, drafted a business plan, developed a Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) system for evaluating and communicating a product's ecological footprint, and designed a family of Ecosa logos to include the Institute, the Artifacts Catalog, and the newly formed Ecosa Design Studio.

Branching from the original Ecosa Institute logo, the student created a "family" of Ecosa logos including Ecosa Artifacts (center) and the newly-formed Ecosa Design Studio (right). Click on the logo images to see a .pdf image of sample product information.
