Interaction Design at California College of the Arts

Interaction design is one of the most important new careers! It is about creating meaningful and innovative designed experiences in the realms of work, lifestyle, and play. At California College of the Arts we are educating the next generation of interaction designers who will create the next wave of innovation. The Interaction Design Program introduces students to a deep understanding of people in order to envision and create real-world solutions and opportunities for human interactions—with, without, or mediated by technologies.

Based on an experiential studio approach, the curriculum is human-centered, multidisciplinary, and collaborative. Faculty members emphasize craft and a creative, hands-on approach to invention, while giving students a combination of visual and systemic design skills. Students learn to design interactive objects, systems, games, services, and environments. Our students build an independent perspective on interactive experiences in order to make positive, lifelong contributions in the world.

This is cool. Except, why are you up at 2am emailing your professor? Design schools should be teaching time management as heavily as design work. Unless there are design firms who run night shifts?

@rywilliam20 I have to agree with you because it's fairly common to have that kind of work schedule for students at art schools, I and many of my friends at other art schools all have very abnormal sleep patterns and work hours, most often a product of procrastination.
