The UX designer’s responsibility to the public and ethical behaviour guidelines in companies
I read an excerpt from AIGA’s publication on design’s responsibility to the public:
The designer’s responsibility to the public
A professional designer shall avoid projects that will result in harm
to the public.A professional designer shall communicate the truth in all situations
and at all times; his or her work shall not make false claims nor
knowingly misinform. A professional designer shall represent messages
in a clear manner in all forms of communication design and avoid
false, misleading and deceptive promotion. A professional designer
shall respect the dignity of all audiences and shall value individual
differences even as they avoid depicting or stereotyping people or
groups of people in a negative or dehumanizing way. A professional
designer shall strive to be sensitive to cultural values and beliefs
and engages in fair and balanced communication design that fosters and
encourages mutual understanding.
and also
The designer’s responsibility to society and the environment
A professional designer, while engaged in the practice or instruction of
design, shall not knowingly do or fail to do anything that constitutes
a deliberate or reckless disregard for the health and safety of the
communities in which he or she lives and practices or the privacy of
the individuals and businesses therein. A professional designer shall
take a responsible role in the visual portrayal of people, the
consumption of natural resources, and the protection of animals and
the environment.A professional designer shall not knowingly accept instructions from a
client or employer that involve infringement of another person’s or
group’s human rights or property rights without permission of such
other person or group, or consciously act in any manner involving any
such infringement.A professional designer shall not knowingly make use of goods or
services offered by manufacturers, suppliers or contractors that are
accompanied by an obligation that is substantively detrimental to the
best interests of his or her client, society or the environment.A professional designer shall refuse to engage in or countenance
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, religion, national
origin, sexual orientation or disability.A professional designer shall strive to understand and support the
principles of free speech, freedom of assembly and access to an open
marketplace of ideas, and shall act accordingly.
To me it seems to be very applicable to everything that a user designer would do as part of their job, yet I have often seen the pressures of time, budget and manager expectations cause UX designers to stray from this type of behaviour.
My question is, what is the reason for companies that work with and hire UX designers not making these types of expectations more public and supporting them when engaging with UX professionals?
Should emotion-neutral fonts be used for user-submitted content?
Fonts aren’t used merely to ensure good appearance of a design, they have the power to express emotions. There are particular features in fonts that are perceived as “funny”, “serious”, “majestic” etc. Fonts, holding such pow…
