iPhone finally came, now going through the process of installing everything on it, which to my surprise included a wordpress app. So now I’m writing this post from the phone. Although I’m thinking I’ll keep to blogging on my mac book, this is way to much effort lol : )
Every now and then I meet up with old school buddies and as the night progresses we always have one of those conversations about what we didn’t learn at Uni. Sadly it seems what we were taught goes out the window soon as we enter the industry.
I started to wonder that if I knew then what I know now would I be a better designer? Or would it have prevented me from developing as a creative person? Do we need to learn in a ‘blue sky’ thinking environment even if what we are taught may never be used? I believe there is scope for certain truths to be taught to students to better equip them when they are entering the creative industry.
Just submitted an article about things they don’t teach you in design university which will be published (very soon) by webdesignerdepot.com . Will post a link soon as it goes online. I can’t wait!!
