SXSW 2019
So Your Design is Good—But is it Moral?
Description:
For designers to fulfill our promise of a better tomorrow, we must find new ways to be honest about the moral implications of our work. We must cultivate new practices: True affection, rooted in respect, experience and specific knowledge; empathetic boldness to confront complex failures in other designers’ work; and genuine humility in an industry that seems to celebrate hubris and seeing what we can “get away with.” As design evolves from form to content in the 21st century, this need becomes ever more acute. Senior creatives from Journey Group will discuss and debate moral design within the sphere of user experience, interface design, content strategy and development. We desire to be fully accountable for our agency's work and to encourage the agency of others in the field.
