Today in class, we discussed different types of Graphic Designers, and what their roles are. We made a list, which brought up the topic of interactive designers. This led us to our semester project that will teach us how to think more like an interactive designer, rather than just visual designers.
I believe this is a great skill to learn, especially in a new time of technology where almost everything is designed for an experience. We need to learn to contribute ideas in the earlier states of a project, rather than at the tail end. This will make us more valuable as designers, and in the end, more marketable.
This project stirred up much excitement in our class, and I am curious to see what everyone comes up with. The door was left open for us to design anything we want, which can be exciting yet terrifying at the same time. It's almost like a mini thesis project, where your entire process will be documented and turned in at the end for review. Every step is critical, and should be for a great final product.
Can't see what is in store for the semester!
