in order to correctly understand the way in which designers suggest that through choosing personal ethical beliefs you must say no to some work, I decided to analyse some of the quotes found within my essay some of them agree with what I am saying and some them do not yet flipped on their head they all seem to have positive points towards at some point saying no to a client and the way in which could be beneficial.
Steff Geisbuhler states “a major ethical
dilemma is to be hired to work for a client whose products, services or actions
are harmful, criminal, politically unacceptable, or are promoting violence and
war, or foster morally unacceptable opinions or actions”
The quote is stating that it is better to say no to being hired to people who have an ethical and moral opinions, therefore highlighting a benefit of saying no to a client and sticking to your morals, therefore standing your ground.
Delyth Morgan ‘If you see your purpose as
communicating a message, then you've got to have something to say. This
inevitably means you have a perspective'
This quote is highlighting the fact that each designer has a perspective and something to say as their job is to communicate a message, through communicating a message they must believe in it therefore saying no to other projects may give you time to establish what you believe in but also allow you the time to focus on promoting your own message.
Johnathan Baldwin ‘it’s not too difficult
to refuse work if you are financially secure, but being principled can be an
unaffordable luxury.’
This quote is highlighting the fact that in order to be principles you have to turn jobs down, although this can be flipped on its head because of turning jobs down it frees your time up to be able to take on jobs that you do support and therefore be able to say both financially secure and work with ethical beliefs that you agree with.
