In reading book reviews for Citizen Designer I came across a group of questions that I thought might be good for us to look over once again. These are some good points that even if you haven’t thought about while reading this book you might question yourself before we enter the “real world” . All in all: read, think, regurgitate.
Can a designer effect political and/or social change?
What does it mean to be a responsible designer?
What does it mean to be design conscious?
What does it mean to be a designer in this corporate-driven, over-branded, global consumer culture?
Who are designers responsible to?
Who do these designers work for?
Are they researching clients, making sure these are not fraudulent, polluting or abusing? Do they still work for them?
Do they take a stand?
Or figure bills need to be paid?
What is responsible design?
