Ethical Responsibility

Working together with clients can be tough getting your ideas across and to keep them ethically responsible for all parties involved. As a designer myself ethical pieces of work are always a priority especially pieces of work such as posters and flyers that are going to be produced by the thousands.

Graphic design is built upon relationships—relationships between the designer and the client as well as the designer and other members of the design team. Creative directors, illustrators, photographers, art directors, videographers, programmers, developers, copywriters, copy editors, project managers, and graphic designers are all collaborators in determining the success of a project. Not all projects require all roles and these roles often overlap or are filled by the same person, the designer. The most successful projects happen when there is a bond of trust between the client and the designer. The most effective way to assure that the expectations of all the parties is met is to validate the relationship with a written agreement.
