COMD 4900 Ethics Entry 2A and 2B

Ethics Entry 2:Ā 

In regards to the readings, I foundĀ  these chapters to be extremely invaluable as an aspiring graphic designer who is interning in his field of work due to the fact they give a lot of insight to the design world and the inner workings of it, and somethings even resonated with me and definitely help me in my designs.

2A) In regards to using another creative work and giving them credit I believe that I can think of one or two situations similar to this. In one situation I didnā€™t necessarily use ā€œcreative workā€ but I used someoneā€™s research for an infographic on gun violence for my information design class. I created a poster with a pie chart in the shape of a crosshairs/bullet and underneath the pie chart I credited the site and source in which I got the information from. For my design team class I did a collab project with the converse shoes and NJPW (new japan prowrestling) and used logos from each company and put the links in my project.

2B) In regards to the Fairy Copyright case, Iā€™m glad that they were able to reach an agreement of some sorts and that it did not get too ugly, but in regards to both copyrights and things of the sorts this is a HUGE lesson and warning and cautionary tale in regards to NOT giving credit. ALWAYS ask for permission and ALWAYS credit your inspirations and things you are incorporating in your design that do NOT belong to you.
