Martin, are you "self taught" and want to catch up? or are you the
type of person who only learns on their own? (I looked this up @
m-w.com b/c I never saw the term before. Nice!)

I think one of the main principles I see in this thread is that you
can't Self Teach design. Yes, you can learn theory but true design
education requires a studio of collaboration and peer-critique.
Without critique (which from what I can tell requires at least ONE
other human being) you truly can't learn the most core fundamentals
of design.

Now, some have found their education "to be out in the field", but
you need to really go out of your way in the software design
community to find a design studio to work in that includes
interaction design in the studio. Usually most creative shops that
have a design studio set up separate IA (the usual title) from visual
design (the usual studio champion). In the corp software world I have
yet to see a design studio in practice regardless of scope. Maybe the
game world, but I haven't seen it first hand.
