1. Do you think ethics is important in Graphic design?
Yes, because it adds a certain structure to design, and there has to be a consumer purchase side to graphic design, and no because the idea of design being curated for depicting a certain ethical/political/social message is not really there anymore as a main purpose.
2. What defines good graphic design?
Not wasteful and unnecessary, honesty, correct messages, but who decides this?
3. What does ethical practice entail in graphic design?
Speaking for someone who does not have a voice in charities.
Honesty - Branding, not to mislead clients or audiences
Respectful - Avoid hyperbole be responsive and always well intentioned
Rules - Thou shall not / Thou shall manifesto of Do's and Dont's
The graphic designer is accountable as the marketing and publicity department for the propogation of a message or idea
Sustainable Development:
How does sustainability relate to ethics? ethical practice and sustainable practice, e.g, packaging, materials, produced recyclable.
