What is the role of education in a designer's career? How important is formal education versus real world experience?
@LACE_JennyWu: Design education is incredibly important. It broadens your mind about the field of design. past and present.
@KHofmannACCD: Role of education: to gain specific design skills/process/knowledge and expand your horizons.
@AngelaYeh: Formal education is essential. Helps you develop a grounded thorough process and find & determine your style.
@LetUsSuppose: Formal education goes hand-in-hand with real world experience. Both are vital, distinct, and irreplacable.
