Teaching the Designer of Now: A New Basis for Graphic and Communication Design Education
Juliette Cezzar
Abstract
In this article, I outline the evolution of recommendations for graphic and communication design education towards professional trends and the competencies required for future professional practice. I then identify common challenges for design and design education that are often not considered in these polemics, but have great impact on design education curricula. I will go on to define and discuss three areas of student growth that can respond to challenges within the university and changes in design practice: translation, creation, and articulation.
