1A) At my internship, most of my tasks was creating newsletters. When we are given permission to use image, we can use one that’s on reliable sources like unsplash but, credit has to be given. In terms of ethics, when an example of the previous newsletter was given to me, I should not copy the style and change the color making it a presentable letter. That goes through an unethical logic. However, I am allowed to use photographs taken by myself in design. In ethics, when using an outside image, credit must be given to the author. According to the AIGA Design guidelines through Ethical Standards, this quote is important, “A professional designer will clearly outline all intellectual property ownership and usage rights in a project proposal or estimate”. This gives meaning that a designer defines their rules through a product before handed in. If it was published without credit, then there will fines for this action. In my take, I carefully use my own designs and photos to avoid this unethical act. This is an act to carefulness when I’m using images, I would make sure if it’s on a website that’ll link to the image.

1B) A Non-Disclosure agreement is a big important document that helps the company protect any sues and lawsuits for any work published as your own. For my internship, I didn’t get one from the company, but I sent the agreement to the internship provider. Even though that isn’t shown from the organization, it is important to follow the ethical guidelines about not exposing other information to the public or that it was already mentioned through the leader. I understand that this is an ethical purpose to keep any information about the company or projects that was not leaked to the public. In a Non disclosure agreement, I believe that it is important to protect informative that isn’t sensitive and keep it private to the companies and with clients. However, if the project is important that other organizations take part, then we would have a contract to take part that we are involved to this project.
