- 1. “Moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity”
- 2. “The branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles”
Some views on graphic design and ethics:
Steven Heller (2003): “Good design is good citizenship” – quoting Milton Glaser
‘So, is bad design bad citizenship? In fact, bad design is just plain mean while good design presumably serves many citizens.’ ‘A designer must be professionally, culturally, and socially responsible for the impact his or her design has on the citizenry.’
Sustainability is...
- Social sustainability (people and societies)
- Economic sustainability (capital and growth)
- Environmental sustainability (the planet)
Sustainable design practices:
- Foot Print, Leeds
- Creative Concern, Manchester
- Cast Iron Design, Boulder, USA
The Ethics and sustainability in Graphic Design seminar provides some interesting food for thought for graphic design, in understanding why ethics and sustainability are important in design practice. With out understanding these elements in design you will not be able to create a individual and unique design practice. With out understanding design ethics you can get into trouble for copying and or imitating peoples work and with out sustainable design your practice will not last long as you have no long term skills in place.
