Ethical Design Education


Ethics of design are something most designers should learn as a basis of their study. It is important that their aim isn’t about getting to work with the highest consuming companies but to work with companies that have a priority of saving the environment from complete pollution.
Designers are so caught up to corporate, that they don’t think of environmental sustainability. Most companies do harm the environment and when a designer agrees to work with them they never think that they are helping in polluting the society. Too many things are harmed like alligator skin for bags or belts, I mean isn’t that so barbaric. Most people are worried about being the highly developed country well how can you be if you are ruining and killing stuff just to satisfy your greedy needs.
Designer should be ethically concerned of the environment and to their clients. They should help to recycle and try not waste materials in where they can replace with something else that wont harm this world. The mistake most or as I may say all educational institute of design teach is that designs have to be printed on manufactured stuff and personalized packaging and not only for finals but they waste all these stuff for mock ups to. We cant always put the blame on the youth or fresh designer but we should put it on the elders that know the basis of a healthy living. They should have put rules for this stuff but no one has.
In conclusion, if we wait for someone to teach us ethics in the way we design no one will and we will just keep harming the environment. So the trick is to learn by ourselves have a hand in helping our planet stay together with peace; since we have the tool of design in our hands to preach everyone.
