I've entered a new program at the AI of Portland: Design Studies- there are
7 of us so far in our 2nd year. The name doesn't fit well, and the director
is considering a change to Design Research Degree. He's met with local
design companies for input, and thus, our courses are more like: visual
culture and design methods.... we've got a MAJOR focus on ethnographic and
Feldman model-type ways of looking at design... its not at all like graphic
design. The program is all about a user-centered approach to design in any
field, so we often encounter industrial and web design. It is a shorter
degree than a masters, but I'm wondering if I should still go ahead and go
on to get my masters instead of jumping into a job right away....
What are your thoughts? Do you think my degree would be at all similar to
IxD?
