The ethical guidelines provided by AIGA should be followed by anyone involving in creative designs. As someone who works with designs all the time, I understand brainstorming original designs can be a long and difficult process. Therefore, I think referencing other designers’ work to find inspiration is acceptable and common, but directly stealing one’s work without leaving any credit to the original designer is shameful.
I am prouder when I can come up with beautiful original designs without referencing any outside sources. My company is similar in this aspect. The company promotes making original designs and wants to keep using third-party assets to the minimum. We understand the seriousness of infringing other peoples’ work. Therefore, even if we are using third-party assets, we will have to make sure that these assets are loyal free, and okay to use.

On the other hand, I did not sign a confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement because I am not involved in in-depth or confidential information. However, I understand how important it is to keep this information private. I have discussed with my supervisor and gained permission to share what I have been contributing to the company to this class.
