Welcome

Hello and welcome!

I've started this blog to help log my research on my final year project: Disobedience and Design.

My work is centered on the ethical responsibilities of the designer: as a communicator of ideas, the designer has a pivotal role in moulding how trends and ideas become accepted as part of the public landscape. How has this role evolved in time? What if any are the social implications? What is the history of disobedience and dissent within the design industry?

My work aims to answer these questions, and many more.

This is a journey of discovery for me, and this blog is going to be one of its tools.

I will be posting links, books and articles relevant to the theme, but one of the main reasons I started this blog is so everyone can contribute to the debate (that is, after all, what it is)

So if you find some information that ties in to ethics and design, let me know, and I'll post it on this blog :)

cheers

Felio Sotomayor
