Stephanie Stilwell:
my introduction- An overview of how and why the Graphic Design 
and other design industrys are making themselves and the products they design sustainable, the growing sense of social resposibility within the industry and designers roles in the promotion of environmental living. (20 March at 11:28)


Stephanie Stilwell:
these may be useful for the rest of you :

Appie - You are what you design 
Fair Use and Foul Play (if anyone wanted to take a political theme)
Ethics gaps and ethics gains: Differences and similarities in mass communication students' perceptions of plagarism and fabrication 
(if anyone wanted to do a 'when does other people work become your own' kind of take)
(20 March at 11:18)
  Adam Robson: I will do when does other peoples work become your own.


Appie Carr:
My paragraph;
Before we look at ethics in design, we have to 
look at ethics themselves; what ARE ethics?

Ethics; your moral principles and philosophy - the rules
that underly your actions and motivate your decisions.

When something is ethical, then, it is good, moral, fair, 
and just. An ethical decision is one that is made for the 
right reasons.

So where does this fit into design?

Well, according to 
"Good; an introduction to ethics in graphic design"
by Lucienne Roberts; "it is crucial to remember that graphic
design is a social activity - by its very nature it affects lots
of people and with this comes a responsibility."

So we are to understand that design - for some 
designers just a job - has far reaching consequences. (20 March at 12:55)
