Good: An Introduction to Ethics in Graphic Design




Good: An Introduction to Ethics in Graphic Design
“An investigation into possible approaches to ethical design practices. It draws on philosophy, theology, politics and history. Lots of voices are heard. Not all the views expressed are ‘ethical’, neither is all the design work shown.”
