The battle between Ethics and Money in design.

When looking into the role of the designer I feel it is important to explore the battleground that exists between two of the most influential factors a designer has to consider: Ethics and Money. As most "designers" work within a business money may be the ultimate goal and thus the overriding factor the designer has to consider. However, increasingly i suspect that the word ethics is being thrown around design studios and disturbing moneys control over the design process. What effect will this have on future designs and the role the designer plays within that.
My next few posts will be looking further into this topic and hopefully I will discover the way in which to perfectly balance the two. This will help us in become more succesful designers.
