Thesis project by Rita Petrilli | Margherita Di Mauro Department of Industrial Design | Polytechnic Institute of Bari Prof.: Nino Perrone The title of my thesis comes from a quote by Guido Viale, from the book “Un mondo usa e getta” in which he traces the key points of the environmental degradation. This topic is much wider than men would think, so the aim of my work was to give an overview of the problem, trying to simplify complex concepts, making them understandable and accessible to any reader and also pleasant and easy to read. This was possible through information design, which allowed me to experiment with unconventional forms of representation.
