• Around the product, materials and
manufacture methods chosen.
Social, cultural, moral,
environmental, economic and
sustainability issues
AQA Graphic Products
Moral
• A designer may not want their designs to be
used to promote products that have potential
drawbacks for the consumer. An example of
this could be fast food or sweets that, with
excessive consumption, could result in long
term health damage.
• Moral factors may influence a designer's
choice of materials. For example, using
recyclable materials
Social
• Users need to be considerate in the use of their
product
– Noise from MP3 players / phones etc
• Users may stop being socialable / be more socialable
– Listening to headphones instead of speaking to each other
– Playing a game users may intereact with echother more
• Designers need to be aware of the impact of their
product and design products appropriately.
• Other social issues are:
– The aging population
– Obesity
– Smoking and alcohol use
Cultural
• Designers should be aware that some images
and text can cause offence. This can be
because they contradict people's religious or
cultural beliefs.
• Globalisation has exposed more people to
different cultures, and this has inspired
designers' work.
Economic
• Designers want people to buy their product
and for their product be desirable. They need
to consider peoples incomes.
• A consumer may want to buy a product, but
may not be able to afford it
• A manufacturer may find it cheaper to make
the product elsewhere.
Environmental / sutainability
• Designers have a responsibility to work in a way that reduces
the environmental impact of a product.
• Raw Materials
– Paper and card are made from cellulose fibre from wood, old rags or
old paper. Care needs to be taken to ensure that wood is from
sustainable forests. The processes of making paper may produce
waste.
• Manufacturing
– Inks and solvents used in manufacturing processes may be harmful
unless used and disposed of correctly.
• Products
– Products and packaging can cause large amounts of waste if they are
thrown away. However, many kinds of graphics waste can be recycled.
Environmental / sutainability
• Rethink - How can the product do the job better? Is the product energy
efficient? Has the product been designed for disassembly?
• Reuse - Which parts of the product could be used again? Has the product
got another use without having to process it?
• Recycle - Which parts of the product can be recycled? Is this information
clear on the packaging?
• Repair - Which parts might need to be replaced? Which parts might fail
with use or over time? How easy would it be to replace parts?
• Reduce - Are there any parts in your product that are not needed? How
can the amount of material be reduced? How could you simplify your
product?
• Refuse - Is your product really needed? Have you thought about the
people who might be making your product - are they treated fairly (pay,
living and working conditions etc)?
Environmental / sutainability
• Built in obsolescence is when a product is designed and made
with parts that are known to fail after a specific time. This
means a new part or a new product will have to be bought to
replace it.
• Designs that try to reduce waste will avoid built in
obsolescence.
Moral, social and ethical issues
• It is the responsibility of the designer to consider
the moral, social and cultural aspects of their
design
• It is the responsibility of the consumer to justify
and feel comfortable with their choice when
purchasing a product.
Is it ever right to:
• use child labour?
• develop cosmetics through testing on animals?
• breed, grow and sell genetically modified crops?
• demand products that encourage deforestation?
• transport day to day items on a global basis?
• use heavy pollutants in a products manufacture?
Ethical trading
To trade ethically you must at least:
• ensure safe working standards and procedures in
the factories
• set out fair pay and working conditions for
employees
• act upon the impact of production on the local
environment
• assurances that the trading procedures are sound
can be gained from the presence of the fair trade
symbol.
Mark Scheme
• The implications of a wide range of issues
including social, moral, environmental and
sustainability, are taken into consideration and
inform the development of the design
proposals
