1a) Ethics is about knowing what’s right or wrong to do. When it comes to ethics in design, it is important for designers to make sure anything you do as a designer won’t cause harm to you and your clients. Designers should always be respectful to co-workers and clients. Knowing ethics helps us make decisions that can positively impact you and others. As a designer, you should know what you can use and what you cannot use for designing. Using other’s work for your designs are known as copyright. You have to make sure the work you are using allows you to use it. No matter what, as a designer, we must get permission from any work we use that is not ours. Asking or researching is safer than anything happening to you. When clients see that you know what you’re doing, their trust in you grows. This will lead to better outcomes of design projects. Designers have many responsibilities when taking care of clients and the work they’re given.
1b) In my internship, I create my own design work, but I also use other’s work for posts. I use other’s images and videos and design of them. For example, Instagram Reels, I find other Instagram pages reels to be posted. But when using other videos, in the post’s captions it credits the original owner. You must always give credits for any work you use that you do not own. If you take credit for work you did not create, you can end up getting in trouble and having to pay a huge fine. A Non-Disclosure agreement is an agreement between the employee and company to protect any confidential information from being shared to the outside world. I did not have to sign a Non-Disclosure agreement in my internship because the work I am doing for my company is used to be shared in public with the world.
