12 steps for Graphic Designers



In his article Milton Glaser mentioned some immoral choices that could face designers anytime in their life career .But it differs from one to another, some of them as I see it in my own perspective won't be so much harmful to others, so I may do it if I have to but If I was asked to run a campaign for Political candidate whose policies would harm general public, I would definitely say NO , I'm sorry I can't do it and I will quit my job if I had to because it's too far from my principles. Since politicians have powerful hands controlling people's life, I refuse to manipulate minds by conveying lies through my design which I believe it will be very effective in people's decisions as what happened in the last Obama's campaign which had a powerful propaganda using posters to convey hope messages to people, and it worked! So these posters had a role in Obama's winning the election and becoming the control hand of the most powerful country which also controls many other countries.
There is some ethics I may gave up as a designer because I have to work, even if I'm not proud of doing it, but there's some I just can't do it. I believe that people have the right to have their own decisions and I won't be a part of it if it goes wrong.
