Good: An introduction to ethics in graphic design is an in-depth introduction to ethics and ethical practice in graphic design. It highlights the practical application and relevance of theory and philosophy at a time when graphic design is in ethical flux. Despite recent manifestos and themed publications on ‘design for good’ graphic designers have yet to examine what such terms really mean. This book takes philosophy as its starting point, but seeks to marry theory with practical application, removing some of the mystique that surrounds ethical philosophy and highlighting its relevance for us all. It is supported by discussions and insight from established designers, typographers, photographers and illustrators.
