What helped me so far: Graduate design seminar: theory/philosophy/strategy of design thinking Integrated Product Development (IPD): design + biz + tech "real project" stuff Intro to interface design: UI, flows, wireframes, mockups, etc. Figure drawing (I also took a class on Scientific Illustration, which I highly recommend!) and... Shakespeare, Economics, Art History, Intro to Ethics (liberal arts thinking/writing and broad cultural exposure for problem solving/ ideation, dealing with human drama and politics, which are the center of any workplace conflict, esp. design!) Hope that helps :-) Uday Gajendar Sr. Interaction Designer Voice Technology Group Cisco | San Jose ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 408 902 2137 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
