Ethics Policy
Twelve7Teen believes that what you display visually can play a much larger role in society. Taking this concept from my mentor and knowing the overall impact we have as designers, we are extremely mindful of the clients that we choose to work with and the work that we create. To ensure that we stay true to our personal, moral, ethical, and social standards, we adhere to a certain set of guidelines. They are as follows:
01
We will not create any work that objectifies or demeans anyone in any way, shape or form. This includes using humans as sexual objects in order to generate interest. There may be projects where using an image of a man or woman is appropriate and/or integral for the concept, but it must be done tastefully and with class, no exceptions.
02
We will not promote substance abuse of any kind.
03
We are strongly against partaking in any activity that promotes hatred, whether it is motivated by racial bigotry, sexual preference or anything else. We are not in the business of spreading hatred and small mindedness.
04
We believe great great working relationships are born from mutual respect, therefore, for the sake of producing the best possible and most compelling work; we will not work with clients who don’t give us the same respect we aim to give them.
05
​We will not generate work in the name of brands or organizations that knowingly and habitually harm the natural environment or its inhabitants, both humans and animals.
