Sažetak
Design as a visual and artistic expression of ideas and/or products affects real people's experiences and at the same time transcends visual boundaries. Although business and economic oriented, design is also the responsibility of its author, which refers to all intentional and unintentional consequences that may occur with the appearance of the designed product. Ethical design is a system of principles that are intended to do and encourage “good”, as opposed to unethical design. According to the Manifesto of Ethical Design, by which Aral Balkan (2015) proposed an ethical design revolution that aims to challenge and alter the current mainstream ideology of surveillance capitalism, created specifically through new technologies, but much more related to the social problems than just technological. To be considered ethical, the design must be consistent with and respect human rights, human effort, and human experience. The main purpose of the research conducted on a sample of design students in the summer semester of 2020/2021 was to investigate the extent to which ethical design and its elements are important to design students and whether they consider the consequences of their designs in a socially and ethically responsible way.
