Rethinking Design Education 2016

What is the value of a designer versus an art director? Is it wrong to hire other people to do the work for you in school? What are you supposed to learn in/after school?

Things get really heated as Chris Do continues the discussion about what should be taught in design school w/ Art Center instructors Allison Goodman and Petrula Vrontikis.

01:35 What does it mean when someone else does your work in school?
02:40 Allison predicts Chris' response. Does she get it right?
07:00 What do you teach lower term students? Can they be trained as art directors that early?
05:00 How would you feel about someone that hires other people to do the work?
06:00 Art direction is not just a fancy title.
07:40 Making is a part of the thinking process.
08:50 The mentality of an immigrant. Education as a means to avoid blue collar work.
09:40 What does it really mean to be an art director?
10:25 Why making is dangerous. What do we have to do as educators to arm design students in 2016 to have a fighting chance in the global design community?
10:50 How much hands on work do you do as a creative director?
11:45 What is your time worth? What are you worth?
14:20 Graphic design is a discipline with broad applications.
14:51 Is there value in "brick laying" aka making design?
15:25 You don't have to learn everything in school.
16:05 Education has become transactional in some schools.
16:45 Makers vs. manifesters.
17:15 Can creativity be taught?
19:00 Students need to be introduced to topics that are "beyond" traditional graphic design.
