Ethical Dilemmas in Commercial Art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unless you are perpetually online, you may be unfamiliar with the saga of Jessica Hische. She is a designer and lettering artist who was hired by Meta, better known as the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Threads and the brand new personal AI agent app, Muse.A new product needs a wordmark, so the company turned to a designer to make one.
