Terry Irwin, head of CMU School of Design, speaks at the AIGA Pivot Conference
Check out the head of our school rocking it at the AIGA Pivot Conference back in October!
“It has been argued that the transition to a sustainable society is essentially a design problem, one of the most important of the 21st century. Making this transition will require nothing less than a reconstitution of our collective cultural image. Communication designers have an important role to play in this process. Our individual and collective worldviews are the result of our beliefs, values and cultural norms that often go unnoticed and therefore unchallenged, but which utterly direct the way we see the world and interact in it. Designers’ individual and collective worldviews direct whether or not they see problems, how they frame them in context and how they set about designing solutions. In short, our worldview controls how and what we design.”
It’s time for our Fall Student Lecture series!
This series showcases students in the School of Design and their experiences outside the classroom. This Fall’s speakers are:

This past semester, seniors David Yen and Justin Edmund researched, designed, and built an interaction prototype for a new School of Design website. The goal of the redesign wasn’t just a fresh coat of paint, rather to re-establish the school as a leader and innovator in design education, and to inspire a radical cultural shift that promotes and nurtures the unique culture of our school.
The redesign is long overdue—the School’s current website was built in the early 1990s, and is likely older than everyone in the incoming freshman class. While there are no plans by administration to implement this site, if you think it’s a good direction, be sure to let the School know.
You can play with the demo yourself, and make sure to read the process guide too! There’s a list of working pages at the bottom of the process guide.
If you have any questions or comments, get in touch with Justin and David! They’re curious to hear your feedback!
The Spring 2011 School of Design critique schedule is up!
A few events have facebook events already, mark your calendars!
