me too. i won't ever do work for coke (they supported nazi germany back in the day--read about why they invented fanta) or IBM (they supported hitler and ibm machines were used in concentration camps to automate persecution of the jews... check out www.ibmandtheholocaust.com. i won't design for starbucks, nike, or other bad corporations either. and i try to be sustainable by printing on fsc & recycled paper with soy-based inks, and encourage clients to do the same, and recommend good local green printers. i like to donate a portion of profits to charities, like kiva.org. microcredit basically rules. i keep up with current events, and try to spread awareness. when working on personal design projects, i like to inject some politics into things and voice things that people need to know about the world. we all have social responsibility as designers. it's not just a world of getting paid for making beautiful shit, or making shit beautiful. it's designism, or the design revolution, or whatever the hell you want to call it. i call it just doing the right thing.
