About this Unit
Design Ethics introduces students to ethical issues in relation to practising design. The central focus of the unit is to examine the role of intellectual property law, particularly copyright and moral rights, in using, repurposing and protecting intellectual and creative property. Aspects of plagiarism in visual communications, including the fine line between inspiration and imitation in the design industry, will also be explored.
Students will be introduced to key ethical concepts through case studies relevant to design practice, and will then apply this knowledge to a range of relevant scenarios as well as to their own practice.
