Ethics is referred to the rightness of what is good and bad. Humans care about how our actions will affect another and we still have selfish urges such as wanting money and popularity. If everyone acted as these desires, then society gets destroyed and there would be no point in businesses and cities running. Ethics explains the right or wrong of what everyone should behave as, especially in businesses.

During my internship experience on creating a visual guide, I had to be aware if I am able to include images on infographics to teach new interns. While it may be used for educational purposes, I have to make sure I do not use images that are from other people’s artwork according to the AIGA Design Guide. Luckily, GAO Tek is a simplistic company using basic images and shapes, but because I am creating a guide for the company, I have to include the company’s logo to ensure it’s from them and that it is the latest version.
