STUDENT AND COURTS OF GRAPHIC DESIGN EDUCATION CONSTRUCT THE INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR LEGAL AND ETHICAL LEARNING

Abstract

Rapid expansion of computer technology and software, which has been serving the printing, publishing and advertising sectors since the early 1990s in our country has brought a very different dimension to the traditional graphic production system. This new mode of production, where artistic skill as well as technological skill are important, has begun to take its place in every corner of the country. In the following years, departments were opened in courses, secondary education institutions and universities to meet the growing need for graphics. The lack of infrastructure of the educational institutions opened to meet the demand of the industry caused the inadequate artistic and technically inadequate graduation of the incoming students to be taken without an artistic test. We can still say that this situation still continues today. The graphic designer with inadequate equipment is immediately self-evident, especially in works of artistic dimension. It can be imitated or intensely inspired in order to respond to the order when it is difficult or big work to be done. Without knowing their legal boundaries, or deliberately choosing a way to imitate, both the self and the institution they design can be criminalized in legal terms. Today in the courts we can say that there are many cases of defendants in these matters. The chief responsible for such a situation is the graphic designer. It is a criminal offender who does not know when he or she does not know the legal responsibilities as well as the legal penalty. In the study, the concepts that should be known ethically and legally in the graphic design working system and the subjects are discussed in the context of orientation training for students who are taking graphics education.
