Ethics 1A
The design work I’ve been doing with my intership program includes documents and blogs that are copyrighted to the company that I’m working with.
I did not have the sign on disclosure agreement for any of the materials that I’m using. I do know that if I want to use any of these documents for anything that has to do with personal work that I would have to require. Dealing with corporations that are very, very tightened on their classified documents. Something that you do not mess around with, and you’ll be respectful to their product.
Ethics 1B
In my first few semesters of college, I referred to a few famous artists paintings to gain inspiration on how I should do my illustration projects. I credited these artists by going to links of where the original pieces came from, who did the research on your projects, and the year it was installed. If these things aren’t being applied to someone’s to work, then the consequences will be present in the end.
My opinion on the Fairey Copyright case is that Fairey didn’t properly source their images while creating a final product. You can only use images and logos for your likeness only if you’re given the permission to do so. Fairey ignore the first rule of design and copyrighting.
