UXD ETHICS

In short, UXD, means the design relating to how a person uses a certain product (e.g., mobile application, website). Besides designing the visual look of the product, UXD is focusing on making the user experience as easy as possible... Based on the previous example, UXD is how the designer will think about making the door easy to use and how they will execute it. That is, by creating a well visible and universally readable sticker that will direct the user to pull or push the door... This project presents a proposal on how to approach ethics in connection to user experience design. Creators of websites, mobile applications and other software products are, unfortunately too often, exploiting users for their own benefit; they take advantage of users' behaviour, psychologically profiling users and adapting content based on this, primarily in the pursuit of additional profits for creators. Additionally, they disrespect and/or violate the privacy of users, tricking, and manipulating them..
