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.

Adbusters, the anti-consumerist organization

Adbusters are a non-profit, anti-consumerist organisation. International campaigns launched by them include Buy Nothing Week, TV Turnoff Week and Occupy Wall Street. They are known for their spoof of popular advertisements, and will often modify billboards, such as the Nike advertisement featuring Tiger Woods called 'Swoosh', where they distorted his face into the Nike symbol showing he's their product. They also take part in google bombing and flash mobs.
