👨💻 Slides
Now that you have a solid understanding of the role of cognition in design, and understand the importance of accessibility, it’s time to reflect on your own experiences with digital products and consider your own definition of ethical design. Navigate through the slides above and spend time reflecting on these questions in the first half of the deck.
The second half of this deck touches on dark patterns — design techniques that toe the line between persuasive and manipulative. As you go about your consumption of digital products, start to notice these dark design techniques. Have you ever felt pressured by one of these?
Based on your unique experience as both a designer and consumer, what code of ethics do you subscribe to? What do you expect from digital products? What do you think could be improved about the digital landscape? Who knows — I might make you turn in the answers in some shape or form in the future!
