* ETHICS IN GRAPHIC DESIGN

- "Design ethics help raise the standard for visual work by establishing behaviors and actions that are acceptable in the professional community and for clients."

- "The notion of being a “good” designer has always been fraught with contradictions. Does it mean good technical skills, good concepts, good return on investment for clients, good intentions, or good design for the greater good?"
- "biggest ethical dilemmas that today’s designers deal with—how to responsibly and ethically use this data in a manner that benefits users without compromising their privacy or society’s well-being."

- "There’s a reason they call you individual contributors. It’s to make you feel alone. Except you’re not alone. You’re part of a giant workforce. And you also didn’t find yourself there; you actively chose to work there. Which brings with it a set of ethical responsibilities. If you’re hoping someone else solves your problem, it means you’re aware the problem exists. And as the person hired to build the machine, it’s on you to correct the machine’s actions when it goes off the rails."
- "You don’t work for the people who sign your checks. You work for the people who use the products of your labor."

- "Designer’s ethical conversations should include a deep self-reflective process related to the decisions they are making, who they are designing for, why, and the social and environmental impact behind the artifacts they are creating." —Juanita Londono
- "I believe that designers hold in their hands a great power and responsibility that has not been fully explained to them."
- "Most disciplines that can cause damage to human lives are required to follow a code of ethics including law, medicine, architecture, and engineering. All of these professionals have a regulated and standardized practice, while designers do not."
- "A designer is first and foremost a human being, as designer Mike Monteiro stated in his Code of Ethics (Monteiro, 2010)"

* INTERVENTIONS

- What behavior needs to change?
- Whose behavior needs to change?
- If people are going to change their behavior, what changes in the environment need to occur to make it happen? For example, if you want people to recycle, you'll have much better results if there is easy access to recycling bins.
- What specific changes should happen as a result of the intervention?

- "The term “intervention” refers to a set of sequenced planned actions or events intended
to help an organization increase its effectiveness. Interventions purposely disrupt the
status quo; they are deliberate attempts to change an organization or subunit toward a
different and more effective state"
- "The first criterion concerns the extent to which the intervention is relevant to the
organization and its members. Effective interventions are based on valid information
about the organization’s functioning; they provide organization members with oppor-
tunities to make free and informed choices; and they gain members’ internal commit-
ment to those choices."
