For those of you tired of my worn out requests for a more straight forward approach to teaching design....especially the part about drawing A Plea to Design Schools: According to Dan Saffer, IDSA, quite a few design schools no longer teach design. Instead, Saffer says, they teach "design thinking" and expect that that will be enough. On his Adaptive Path blog, Saffer asks design schools to please start teaching design again. He says D schools are doing a serious disservice to their students by only teaching them "design thinking" when a class in typography or mechanics or drawing might not only give them a valuable skill, but also teach them thinking and making and doing?all at the same time.
