Ethical design for an ethical designer

As I want to showcase that I am an ethical designer within my portfolio, stock was largely considered when developing the final piece.

Recycled stock was used throughout the publication in order to ensure all stock was ethically sourced. Considerations were also made surrounding whether the finish would effect recycling efficiency.

Inks were also considered (such as vegetable ink) although these cannot be used on a small scale as a result of the cost, it may be mentioned that this method would be undergone if the magazine gained interest and needed to be mass produced.

In terms of ethical considerations the content was largely discussed ensuring that there were no factors in which may appear offensive/discriminative. Any issues in which arrose were removed after feedback sessions and tutorials. LGBTQ members were also asked to read the publication to further ensure no offense could be made.
