This qualitative study builds on existing literature that identified a delayed shift toward sustainable practices in the commercial graphic design industry. A lack of consensus about what sustainability and sustainable practices mean in the context of graphic design could be one of the reasons for this delayed shift. Because institutions are a major contributor in shaping the implementation of sustainable practices (Alexander, 2006), this study explored the co-constructed meaning of the concept of sustainability in selected graphic design institutions. The overarching research question was asked: How does the collective voice of selected graphic design institutions conceptualize sustainability? The three selected graphic design institutions were (a) the most broadly circulated graphic design professional trade magazines, (b) the primary professional organization of graphic designers, and (c) graphic design higher educational programs. This dissertation applied a phenomenological approach to conduct document analysis on the textual content produced by these selected institutions. All data was collected and analyzed in the fall of 2017. After coding and analyzing the data, this study brought to surface some reoccurring themes that occupied the discourse within the selected institutions regarding sustainable design. The main themes for the overarching research question yield that within the examined datasets, when sustainability was mentioned, 46 percent of the texts referred to the challenges of working sustainably, 36 percent of the texts projected sustainable graphic design as a vehicle to change the mainstream culture to a more sustainable lifestyle, and 18 percent of the texts referenced sustainability as a relevant and actionable concept in graphic design. The analysis aimed to identify the main themes of the underlying values concerning sustainability to establish an up-to-date assessment of the common meaning of sustainability in the three selected graphic design institutions. This research was conducted in hopes of furthering the discourse of sustainability within the graphic design field.
