This compelling collection of essays, interviews, and course syllabi examines how changing professional standards in graphic design have revolutionized the way design is taught, learned, and practiced. Forty-two top designers and educators talk theory, offer proposals, and discuss a wide range of educational concerns, from the dichotomies between theory and practice to the importance of mastering traditional media versus the need to learn new media and remain flexible in a changing world.
