I recommend this book, but...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Good book with a great deal of interesting perspectives on design and a designers responsibility to "do the right thing." However, to me it was a tough read, some chapters I had no idea what the person was talking about or it read like a text book. That being said, I still highly recommend this to anyone in the creative industry. It brings up a lot of issues that would behoove you to think about before you take on work for irresponsible clients.
Absolutely seminal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is an essential book for all designers worth their salt. If you have a backbone and you truly are 'ready' to understand the reach of the profession and its social responsibility, save your pitiful moral crisis, get out of the pointless world of persuasion and rhetoric, and start saying it like you mean it. Buy this book and write your life's manifesto. Design is not just a job hey.
Social Responsibility
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is incredible. I have only read the first 20 pages and I think it should be a mandatory read for anyone in the design industry. It is informative on specific ethical issues a designer faces and it allows for varying perspectives on the topics in the book.Great for a student, teacher, or anyone within the design realm.
Dave Vogler's essay is hilarious!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Designer David Vogler always contributes to these design books churned out by Mr. Heller. And once again, Vogler has cooked up a hilarious editorial that thumbs it's nose at the industry while making valid observations. This is worth the cover price alone. My staff laffed out loud.
