We are fighting for design education in K-12 schools. These comments have been very helpful.
Perhaps if students learn more about the importance of design in schools they will be more receptive as adults. http://andDESIGNmagazine.blogspot.com ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Arthur Fink [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 7:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Why Design Matters Sorry for a second post in one day. I find that I often have to fight for design -- not for me as the designer, but just for spending time and money on design. Some clients don't know what it is, but believe it has something to do with making things prettier after they are almost built. So ... in preparation for writing a blog piece on this subject, I queried some friends. One wrote a paragraph that's almost a poem, and says just about all I wanted to put in my mini-essay. It's on my blog: http://arthurfink.wordpress.com/2009/10/04/why-design-matters/ Arthur Fink - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A r t h u r F i n k Listening, Consulting, Coaching Common Sense Business Advice arthur at arthurfink.com 207.615.5722 Blog www.arthurfink.wordpress.com Consulting www.arthurfink.com Coaching www.insightandclarity.com ________________________________________________________________ Reply to this thread at ixda.org http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=46371 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
