Design ethics story?

Hi,

My name is Julian - I'm a final year Graphic Design student from AUT
university in Auckland, New Zealand (Bachelor Graphic Design).

For my exhibition project, I am looking into the area of ethics and design.
Specifically targeting the ideas of ethical responsibility to my fellow
peers the next generation of graphic designers.

Im looking to form ethical values through narrative. Showing through
example, (positive and negative) rather than telling people what to do.

Therefore, If anyone has had any experiences on a job where they have taken
a personal stand in favor of their ethical and moral values, or where they
have wished they had in hindsight, or even just had a feeling that what they
were doing was wrong, I'd love to here from you. Likewise if you have a ever
tried to educate your client on more sustainable ethical practices, with a
positive or negative outcome, these would be great too.

The idea of ethics is a controversial one, what's your view on ethical
design practice? Does it relate solely to professionalism, or are we
responsible as advocates of our clients message?

I would be extremely thankful for any feedback. Depending on the story, I
would like to conduct an interview in the form of an electronic survey
(Email) or brief description of the job. These will be used on a 'offline'
website at the exhibition. I will respect anyones wish to stay anonymous.

Once again thank-you for helping me spread the idea of responsible ethical
design, I believe it is a very important issue that the next generation of
graphic designers must be made aware of.

Kind Regards
Julian Nicol
