There are four types of situations in business that bring up ethical questions:
-Competition: Competition between other businesses and during a slow economy can cause owners, managers and employees to stretch ethical boundaries. Clients can also put you in the position of questionable ethics – what do you do? Designers are required to disclose all types of compensation from the project to clients.
-Conflict of Interest: Definition: A person’s incompatibility between their private interest and their public duty. Putting personal gain above the good of the person or organization that the designer represents is Unethical behavior!
-Misuse of proprietary information: Definition: Proprietary info: a wide variety of data, graphics, designs, or business information that belongs to a person or business. – this includes client data, discount policies, pricing policies etc. How a business is run. As designers, we can become privy to a lot of financial and personal information about our clients – that is proprietary information.
-Employee theft: Technically, taking office supplies is employee theft, but it can go much further than that. – Taking money and goods from the sales floor or warehouse. ‘Borrowing’ and ‘Forgetting’, taking extra copies of such as AutoCAD for use on home computer, and side business.
So that was a bit of inspiration from class. ^_^
Today's visual inspiration comes from a little keepsake that I brought back from Thailand:

I am always inspired by hand carved and hand crafted items
