Re: Questions about Question 7

Sounds like you're between a rock and a hard place. I've never found myself in a position where I was designing for a cause I didn't necessarily believe in. That's tough. This ties into the discussion from last week, doesn't it? We were talking about designing for a cause - unfortunately, in this case, you don't get to decide what side of the cause you design for.

This might be completely off-base, but, when I read the post this week, I thought of Leni Riefenstahl's documentary The Triumph of the Will. I know there was a lot of controversy around that documentary because it promoted the unethical Nazi regime... but Riefenstahl must have had some kind of inner struggle over whether or not to do the documentary. Although, I don't think Hilter was the kind of boss you said no to when he asked you to do something.
