Response to S_Lake's post on 8/7:
Once you come down from your soapbox, you might want stop by sometime to see what we have going on at CDIA. There is a strong balance between technical instruction and design. Our career services department is extremely successful. We are NOT encouraged to list a litany of software packages on our resumes and our portfolio module is taken very seriously. Your condescending attitude leaves something to be desired. If you were interviewing me for a job, I'd run the other way.
gripper, I thank you too for your comments. Balance is always the key!
Additionally, a continuous hunger to learn: new technology, an understanding of how design works, how to develop a keen ability to problem solve, along with the diplomacy needed to collaborate with others.
From reading s_lake’s [now deleted] comment, I did not feel a condescending attitude [which you read] more so, I felt it was a passionate expression to pay attention to the non-technical side of design [which is what ‘The Future of Design’ article was referring to].
Both skills [technical instruction & design] are important.
Both skills are taught at CDIA.
And both skills are needed to balance the designer.
Having a list of technical abilities is a good thing and will show in a strong portfolio.
Having the ability to discuss, with a potential client or employer- using the solid language of design, your work and abilities- will go a long way in scoring jobs and further developing your work and ultimately your portfolio.
Every job interview is different. Being prepared to discuss, a cornucopia of design topics, is essential. Please continue to check back with this blog and add in your comments.
