Questions about Question 7

I think, unfortunately, when we're put into this position as in-house designers, we have to follow the company line. If the organization says, this is our stand, than we have to follow that. We have the choice to refuse and pay the penalty (be it demotion, losing our job, or just creating a hostile work environment for ourselves).
The other options include doing the work and doing it well, or my preferred method of subterfuge, do the work, and pardon my language, do a piss poor job of it.
We have the skill set to communicate messages clearly, so we also have the ability to muddle the message, though usually not purposefully.
I vote Muddle Question 7 til your message is indecipherable!

This is a tough topic. I've never had to deal with this. But I have developed designs around topics I cared nothing about... and it showed in my work.
