From the other side of the Design Sucks argument, Kinda Not Really

http://www.adaptivepath.com/blog/2007/03/06/design-schools-please-start-teaching-design-again/

With UC's being a "research" institution, we can't help but learn about thinking more so than doing. It's interesting how so many students I know (including me) want a class in Portfolio design but that'll never happen because it's not research or thinking-related. I think it's even more interesting that the article is focusing on craft and the actual making of the product when I personally feel that there is too much emphasis on visuals and not enough concept when talking about design.

Anyway, worth a discuss.
