Reflection 3 Paper: Ethics as a Graphic Designer

When starting any business you should know that policies for privacy, security and safe rules. When I started working at Clarkston Chamber of Commerce, I found out that what information you get from them should stay with them unless you ask to use it for personal use. This is also taught at school and any work place situation. No personal information from the company should be used in any way for personal use nor should it be taken out of company. There is the situation you to take into account an ethical situations for the company and some one’s well being. It is a fine boarder you have to know the ethical rules as well and may a good judgment call for your well being and again that of others.

            Now for security and safe rules were not talked to me at my internship, but I think that more goes under security and safe rules go under AIGA Standards of Professional Practice and ethics. See in my fields my responsibilities are to my clients, other designers, the public and environment. Each one of these has an effect on what my responsibilities as a designer and as student in my career. For an example, I have to be secure in my work and make sure I am not copyrighting someone else’s work. Also for safety rules I have to make sure I don’t hurt myself while on the job. Not much to know and explain there.

            Well, this week there wasn't much I could talk about because my privacy, security and safety rules are pretty well known. Most was learned from ethics class, talking to other professionals in the field and my teachers at the college. Thanks for reading. See you next week.
