AIGA will work with Adobe, educators and professionals to
develop tools, techniques, course work and best practices to meet
these trends and
challenges, as well as to develop the critical competencies.
Share your feedback
We encourage all designers and educators to contribute to the
debate, draw from the findings where appropriate and share their
own application of the findings.

AIGA is seeking to stimulate discussion with the design
educators community of how curricula need to change. One point of
view is presented here to initiate the conversation. This is a
paper that was presented by Meredith Davis [PDF, 12.9 MB], the head
of PhD programs in graphic design at North Carolina State
University, at an AIGA Design Educators Conference in Boston, in
April 2008. Professor Davis is an AIGA Medalist, former AIGA board
member and is acknowledged as a leading voice on issues of design
education and theory.
