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. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
