Job
Create poster and flyer for a workshop on "Applied Ethics and Applying Ethics" on 25-26 October 2013 at the Centre for Advanced Study in Bioethics.
Topic
The idea of applied ethical reasoning comprises at least two dimensions. A first dimension refers to the question of how applied ethics is related to theoretical ethics. Should applied ethics be thought of as nothing more than an application of a given position in theoretical ethics? Or is it more plausible to think of it as an endeavor entirely independent of theoretical ethics? A second dimension of applied ethical reasoning asks how exactly to put ethics into concrete practice, i.e. how to apply ethical insights, conceptual distinctions, and normative conclusions in everyday life.
Realisation
A mockup of an iPhone app for deciding ethical questions ("iShould") was designed in Photoshop using several iOS7 mockup templates and a photo from an ICU. The mockup picture was then loaded onto an iPhone and displayed. My girlfriend helped me shooting a photo of the phone by holding it with her hand clothed in a rubber glove in front of a neutral background. The scene was then isolated from the background in Photoshop an put over a blurred version of the ICU photo.
Result: Flyer
