Teaching The Design Of Narrative Visualization: Using Metaphor For Financial Literacy And Decision Making, Aaron Fry, Jennifer Wilson, Carol Overby
Learn X Design Conference Series
The authors provide a scholarly definition for metaphor-rich, story-driven “narrative visualization,” and assert the importance of this methodology in contemporary design education. They propose “narrative visualization” as especially useful in promoting financial literacy: a context in which design can both facilitate understanding and possibly influence behavior. This emotionally-engaging means has the potential to affect the “System 1” intuitive decision-making processes that Kahneman and others have identified as the primary drivers of financial behavior.The case study here presents a recent design course that was customized to teach “narrative visualization” in a financial-literacy context. Student work from that course is examined through …

Hooked On Peers’ Drawings: Learning Through The Visual Wildfire, Nina Scott Frisch
Learn X Design Conference Series
Children’s drawing activity has been theorized as traces of cognitive and biological development, with cultural variations as minor sources of visual and traceable influence. Even though present, less research has been done on documenting the social aspect of drawing; seeing drawing as visual communication between children. This aspect of drawing development, or learning, is visually traceable, but is still often neglected because children´s drawings can be seen in light of a discourse emphasizing the individual solitude and expression of the professional artist. Collection of drawings, observations and interviews took place in one elementary school art room for one academic year …

Artists-in-Residence Programme : Exhibition Catalogues
The intertextual works articulate their meanings through the process of creation but not through the artists alone. The significances and meanings of the artworks are produced by the copying and referencing of texts that already exist. Creators of these 'new' works forgo the identity as an author, the tracing of originality and the following of reading habits and traditions are to be violated. The process of reading, deciphering and judging of the artworks injects new meanings into the original texts written by the old masters; any blockages or fragmentation that happens in the process will further promote the conceptualisation and …
The Role Of Personality And Team-Based Product Dissection On Fixation Effects,

The Role Of Personality And Team-Based Product Dissection On Fixation Effects, Christine A. Toh, Scarlett R. Miller, Gül E. Okudan Kremer
Interdisciplinary Informatics Faculty Publications
D esign fixation has been found to be complex in its definition and expression, but it plays an important role in design idea generation. Identifying the factors that influence fixation is crucial in understanding how to enhance the design process and reduce the negative effects of fixation. One way to potentially mitigate fixation is through product dissection activities since this activity has been shown to increase creativity and design space exploration in engineering design. However, product dissection has not been studied in the context of design fixation, so it is unclear if, or how, this type of activity influences fixation. …

Social Networking As A Mentoring And Engagement Tool Between Design Alumni And Early Design Students, Lisa Fontaine
Learn X Design Conference Series
In graphic design education, there is an increased need to integrate design thinking, with less focus on the designed ‘object’ and more focus on its message. Realities of the contemporary profession mandate the development of broad thinking skills; students need to begin viewing themselves as problem-solvers first, imagemakers second. The Alumni Mentor Initiative was devised to introduce beginning graphic design students to design thinking as it manifests itself in practice. Using the LinkedIn website, 80 alumni from the university’s graphic design program were identified and asked to participate in an online mentoring program. Each was matched with one beginning student, …

Graphic Design is an aggregative art and has a huge function in its international field. But, in Iran there isn’t any correct understanding of that because the different branches of this amazing art has not separately been defined and utilized to make the people see and receive its effect in their life environments. The graphic designer has to be like a working machine and does work in all of the branches alone to propound the functions in society. Although the designer knows all of these branches, such as designing a logo, they are not supposed to be included in her …

Integrating Multidisciplinary Collaboration In Undergraduate Design Education: Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth?, Katja Fleischmann
Learn X Design Conference Series
Employability studies continue to highlight the fact that digital media design graduates may not be sufficiently prepared to bridge the gap between university and industry. In response, an alternative learning and teaching approach for digital media design education, the POOL Model framework, was developed and subsequently trialled at an Australian university. A broad underpinning strategy of the framework is to reflect industry practice through implementing workplace realities such as multidisciplinary teamwork. Introducing multidisciplinary collaborative practice into design education is identified as necessary; however, exactly how these collaborations can be managed at an undergraduate level is less well defined. This paper …

Teaching design to design-illiterate students is usually a common case for every first year class instructor at any design program. In addition to this, a particular combination of extra challenges makes Design Fundamentals at -the University of Alberta- a very special spot to learn and teach design. Most sections of this class are open to students from many other fields and levels, from psychology to engineering, and from first year students to senior students. Masters students, who usually come from various countries, are often appointed as teaching assistants as part of the graduate program experience. Some of them choose to …

The project described in this paper is an upcoming postdoctoral project with the aim to explore the concepts of ‘making scholarship’ and ‘doctorateness’ in the practice-based field of Art and design education. This paper will describe the field of inquiry and elaborate on self-ethnography as a research approach. Self-ethnography can be an alternative when a researcher aims to study a professional community to which he or she is already a member. ‘Doctorateness’ is a central concept in organised research education, and even though the term has its origins in the discipline-based fields of research, the concept is of great importance …

Branded: The Sister Arts Of Rhetoric And Design, Susanna Kelly Engbers
Learn X Design Conference Series
As a professor of rhetoric at an art and design college in the United States, I am keenly interested in philosophies of design education and their relationships to philosophies of rhetorical education. Clearly teachers of rhetoric and of design have much to learn from one another, yet we rarely interact. One way in which design and rhetoric should be informing one another is through the related concepts of branding, familiar to designers; and ethos, well-known to rhetoricians. I know from faculty colleagues in design how important branding is in design curricula. Students learn the value, as Richard Buchanan puts it, …

Exploring Colour And Light As Dynamic Elements Of Space Through The Activities Of An International Workshop, Nada El-Khoury, Tiiu Poldma
Learn X Design Conference Series
The ephemeral qualities of lighting are explored best as part of lived experiences. For students at the baccalaureate level, this is difficult and requires developing ideas that become realized through modelling by studying what happens when light, colour and material intersect with form. This process uses design thinking and hands-on experiences to show students how a dynamic interplay of design elements within a project occurs through learning and discussion. While creative processes require some form of abstract thinking and when ephemeral qualities aspects of light and colour contribute to the purpose for a particular use, the material aspects of a …

Education in the 21st century demands a model for understanding a new culture of learning in the face of rapid change, open access data and geographical diversity. Teachers no longer need to provide the latest information because students themselves are taking an active role in peer collectives to help create it. This paper examines, through an Australian case study entitled ‘Design Minds’, the development of an online design education platform as a key initiative to enact a government priority for state-wide cultural change through design-based curriculum. Utilising digital technology to create a supportive community, ‘Design Minds’ recognises that interdisciplinary learning …
