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.

It's long, but interesting to read and ponder. Discuss if you want. I think the part where the guy mentioned that just gluing a bunch of pieces of paper together is not pushing the limits, which is true, but it's kind of sad how this is what I'm doing right now for Danh's project, and that's probably the most professional I've gone with my projects.
