A) Currently, my internship experience has been going great! So far, I have been tasked with creating posters, flyers and redesigning the organization’s logo for breast cancer awareness month. In regards to the ethics guidelines discussed in the AIGA guide, all images used in my artworks, I made sure are non copyrighted images on the internet. I used websites; like unsplash and pixabay which  are known to provide designers images with free licenses. This way I have kept the correct standard of the ethics guidelines. Concerning the company’s trademarks and logos, I believe the organization has the license rights for their visual trademarks and logo. To add, when rebranding the organization’s logo I had to keep in mind the brand guidelines for the logo. In those guidelines there are certain ways the logo cannot be rebranded/altered. I had to respect those guidelines.

B) For the time being I have been requested to sign a non-disclosure agreement for my internship, however there was written a confidentiality clause listed within the internship/ employment agreement. Put simply, it stated sensitive/ secret info concerning company policies and guidelines. As I’ve been employed under this company, I have given up all rights of the work I create as well as we have not created any other sort of contractual agreement to keep the rights of the edits made to logos etc. Moreover, I do comprehend the importance of a non-disclosure agreement between company and employee. This document is used to ensure the protection of the company, all valuable information and knowledge gained about the company whilst working for them is to remain confidential.
