Using the research, understanding and analysis that has been explored around the subject of a graphic designer’s role in influencing change in society through completing CoP2, the proposed focus question that will be explored for CoP 3 is; What is Good.
Looking at this question in a more in-depth way, the subject of the social responsibility of a graphic designer will be explored in terms of ethics which relates and will be linked back to the overarching question. What ethics is and how this relates to design will be one of the initial starting points to the research project, as well as looking at theorists and designers who have considered this in their design practice. This will then lead on to the exploration of what is ‘good’ and ‘bad’ in terms of design, providing case studies and theorists to explore the definitions.
So far the initial research into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ has drawn attention towards what is ‘green design’ and the social responsibility that graphic designers have towards society in producing efficient and recyclable design. This will allow for an extension of the research already carried out in CoP2 and for a development of understanding around the social responsibility of Graphic Design in terms of sustainability.
From the reading already completed for this research project, the understanding is that ‘green design’ is something that each designer will eventually be apart of. It is therefore imperative to explore the practice involved in green and ethical design and how they then relate to sustainability, furthering on to how this can affect society.
