Dark Magic/Patterns (UX & UI Ethics)

‌Designers are the magicians of the modern world. Through subtle manipulation of colour, word choice, and images, they can shape how website information is perceived and influence what choices are made. However, in some cases, these manipulations can step over an ethical line and there is not enough said about the appropriate behaviour of user interface(UI) and user experience(UX) designers in the digital sphere. 

The zine is aimed at speaking towards designers that work in the realm of web design. The concept of this zine revolves around the idea of designers being manipulators and having power, when misusing that power they become evil wizards practising dark magic.
The zine then acts as a manual to anyone who aims at being part of the dark side of UX and UI design as the guidelines are framed at how to be an evil design witch. The aesthetic is meant to relate to a digital realm and simulate the RGB bright colours, while the tone of voice is satirical while covering a serious topic.
