What Is Design Ethics?

Design Ethics is where moral dilemmas are taken into action and decided upon. They are based on personal beliefs and values within society. External aspects need to be taken into consideration when designing for a client, and that the design should be suitable specifically for them. Designers need to keep various areas in mind, from environmental, multiculturalism to anti-consumerism etc.

Environmental Packaging within Design

Global Warning and the environment play a large part within design, how much is too much? Is there more packaging then needed, creating more waste. I researched into the book 'Why Shrink a Cucumber: The complete guide to environmental packaging' to have an insight on how package design may affect the environment and in what ways could solve the issue. Inside there was a double page spread discussing the issues of how packaging may effect the environment, along with other polluters.


I also found a page discussing whether designers should boycott clients that overuse packaging where it is not needed. Moralities of designers are mentioned, explaining how many refuse to design for cigarette or alcohol manufactorers.
