Thoughts on Communication Design and UX Education

If you graduated college in the 90’s with a graphic design degree, you may have learned valuable skills related to visual communication, typography, creative problem solving, compositional layout, etc.

Times have really changed. No matter how you view it, educators are tasked with teaching much more than they did in the past. Communication design will always be an aspect of a designer’s education, but many programs are expanding their approach to incorporate user-centered design thinking.
