- ' Responsibility comes with a weighted obligation to the audience or end user.'
- ' In discussing ethics and design, there are at least three different levels for us to consider. The first has to do with professional behaviour in daily business interactions. The next level deals in specific professional expertise needed in such areas as accessibility , usability , consumer safety and environmental practise. This leads us to the third level which is about overall professional values - a broader framework for moral principles and obligation in life.'
- Why do values have to be 'professional'.
- Why response after a crisis - why not during or a prediction of the consequences?
- 'Consideration of design's social, cultural, economic, political and personal ramifications must be acknowledged if we are to be truly responsible.'
