Task FIVE
Design Companies
Zerofee is an ethical design agency
We don’t like to lend our skills to brands and companies (or anyone / thing else, for that matter) who we feel has a negative impact on the world we live in – be it socially or environmentally. On that basis we don’t approach or accept work from potential clients that we know to be carrying out their activities irresponsibly – be it through blatant environmental disregard, the exploitation of people or a philosophy of ‘profit before welfare’.
Naturally, these can be difficult factors to uncover or determine, but we apply research and careful judgment when choosing who we work with. We’re determined not to assist or benefit from those who we believe to do harm.
The Ethical Graphic Design Company (previously Sussed Design) helps promote organisations who are working for positive change, whether it be through education, the arts, campaigns or by helping people or the environment.
We do this by providing highly creative, highly effective graphic design. From bold promotional material to clever identities, from simple websites to cutting-edge illustration.
Milton Glazer says
The question is whether concern about the consequences of one’s work can become part of the ethos of [graphic designers'] field. We all say no to many things that violate our ethical standards, why should our professional work be an exception?
This piece of artwork says it all about the rights of not killing living animal, it is an illustrated and clear drawings of animals getting slaughtered for the public like us to feed on.The first image where it has shown a chicken being stripped naked has got this pain fullness feeling towards it, whilst the second image of the milk carton shows the type MILK being dripping of with blood. No living object wants to be squeezed out of them, its like saying humans are compulsory to get them self tested with all sorts of new drugs, i.e Cows don't want farmers squeezing milk out of them whilst chicken don't want there eggs being taken away from them, likewise with sheep do u think they want there furs shaved of them?. All these edible animals will put up a good fight, but in this world its a dog eats dog and this is where the food chain comes into the scene from the primary consumers (herbivores) to the Quaternary consumers (carnivore).
They expect people to contact them as they will most likely reply to all of its readers

Design Business and Ethics
AIGA has published a series of brochures outlining the critical ethical and professional issues encountered by designers and their clients. The series, entitled "Design Business and Ethics," examines the key concerns a designer faces in maintaining a successful practice and speaks directly to the protection of individual rights.
Authored by industry leaders from across the country, each brochure offers clear and concise information, as well as practical and specific directions for approaching design issues.
Revised versions of all the brochures were published in May 2007, available here as PDFs. We encourage you to download and reformat the information as part of your regular proposals to clients (giving proper attribution to AIGA).
New topics in the "Design Business and Ethics" series will be published periodically to build a basic library for designers and their clients. The intent of this series is to develop content that is useful to designers, as well as being a resource to educate clients on standard practices and legal requirements faced by design firms.
