Net Work: Ethics And Values In Web Design

Redefining Design Ethics: Why Graphic Design Needs Professional Self-RegulationPhil McCollam

The discussion of law within design has typically focused on the legal rights of designers, emphasizing legality over morality within an industry continually stressing holistic concepts. Discussions of design ethics are often pigeonholed by references to the "Citizen Designer" or Glaser's "12 steps on The Road to Hell." Focusing on ethical quandaries posed by client selection while overlooking the design process leaves little room for the reality of financial security. This paper explores industry regulation and licensure within design practice, focusing especially on including considerations within client- and user-based solutions. Focus is placed on the legal case of Maguire v SOCOG 2000, and the example of web development as bases for re-defining ethical design. In conclusion, this paper examines alternative definitions of design ethics as they apply to the entirety of the production process, and reviews the importance of humanity within morality-based design law.
