Are you eager to make a positive social impact through your designs? Join the growing number of practitioners and third-sector organizations who are using ethics-focused design methods like dark patterns, white UX design, and codes of ethical conduct. Universal Methods of Ethical Design gets you started with a collection of design supports for ethical awareness, action, and reflection to build socially responsible features, products, and services. These supports appear in this book in varied forms, including methods, theoretical frameworks, conceptual frameworks, and principles.

Explore an expansive landscape of resources across different design phases, including:

  • User research
  • Design scoping
  • Ideation and concept generation
  • Testing and evaluation

In this book, you’ll find diverse methods that include a focus on ethics or values, which can support designers and technologists to engage in more ethically aware or value-sensitive design practices. Universal Methods of Ethical Design contains accessible formats to engage with critical concepts such as feminism; design activism; privacy, security, and legal policy; and governance perspectives.

Each method is presented in a two-page format. The first page contains a succinct definition, a full description of the principle, examples of its use, and guidelines for use. Sidenotes appear next to the text, and provide elaborations and references. The second page contains visual examples and related graphics to support a deeper understanding of the method.

This landmark reference is the standard for designers, engineers, managers, and students who seek to broaden and improve their ethical design expertise.

The titles in the Rockport Universal series offer comprehensive and authoritative information and edifying and inspiring visual examples on multidisciplinary subjects for designers, architects, engineers, students, and anyone who is interested in expanding and enriching their design knowledge.
