Ethics

3 things that stood out to me while reading the code of ethics would be, as a person, having a strong sense of ethics helps you stay grounded. It’s like having your own internal compass for making fair and responsible decisions. It builds trust, not just with others but with yourself too. As a designer, ethics help guide you through tricky situations like dealing with difficult clients, copyright stuff, or project feedback. Following ethical guidelines means you’re being transparent, honest, and respectful in your work. That’s the kind of reputation that gets you noticed for the right reasons. For clients, working with an ethical designer means they know they’re in good hands. You’re not going to ghost them, overcharge, or ignore their input. It helps build long-term relationships based on trust and honestly, that makes your job easier too.
