About this Episode
Iâm taking a different approach in the form of a round table discussion between an industry professional and interactive design educators. The reason for the departure in this episode stems from the opportunity of having two interactive design educators presenting at the annual SECAC, formerly the Southeastern College Art Conference, in the same room with an actual practicing designer at a real life agency in Columbus, Ohio. Coincidentally, at the same time, the AIGA Design Educators Community just released a draft version of their Designer of 2025 and I think itâs great to get everybody in the room at the same time and talk about the report If youâve been listening to the podcast, itâs basically been about what I think we should be teaching and me asking professionals or educators to get their feedback. I think this format gives me a great chance to get somebody else talking about what they think should be taught and then getting interactive design educators and professionals together to say, âYeah, these are the things we really need to target immediately!â, or âThese things arenât really relevant to us on a day to day basis.â, and follow up from the education perspective, on how do we incorporate that?
