Hi Dave, Martin, are you "self taught" and want to catch up? >
I'm just starting out, transitioning from technical writing to IxD. (And what I'm learning about interaction design and design in general is self-taught thus far.) I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything important :) I think one of the main principles I see in this thread is that you can't > Self Teach design. > I get what you're saying there. But I don't see too many places local to me where I could do this (at least, not in an educational setting). Certainly not in the (big) company that I currently work for. I'm not aware of any (interaction) design firms (in the vein of Adaptive Path, IDEO, etc.) here in Israel. I'd be happy to be corrected about that :) And also not much on the education side (except for the odd course for ID students, etc.). Long-term, I hope to be able to go study at one of the European design schools. But for now, I guess I must do the best I can with what I have. Which means reading and learning by doing. Without critique (which from what I can tell requires at least ONE other > human being) you truly can't learn the most core fundamentals of design. And probably that other human being should know what they're talking about when it comes to design :) Cheers, Martin ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
