The Future of Design
How Magazine's feature article on The Future of Design. Have a read to see what experts predict about: who you target audience will be? what your office will look like? which of your skills will be most valuable? why the medium won't matter but the message will? and what makes design timeless?

s_lake thank you for your comments! Keep watching our designs and continue to contribute.
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.
