Ethics in Design 2A

As any other designer would, before starting a project, I would find inspiration. This would be looking at images from Google and using the app Pinterest. When getting my inspiration, I try not to let my work look like a copy of my inspiration. In the past, I haven’t deliberately copied another designer’s work and claimed it as my own.

If I were to copy another designer’s work, I would give them credit. It would be ethical. When giving credit to another designer, I would add their logo or tag them in any documentation. If possible, I would get their permission or get the license to use their artwork in my project.
