Interaction Design and the Skills That Are Needed
Before graduating from college I became increasingly interested in pursuing my education in design further than an undergraduate degree. After talking with numerous faculty members I decided that it was best for me to spend a couple of years in the field doing some actual work before obtaining a masters degree. That was at least until I read about the new Masters of Fine Arts in Interaction Design that is going to be offered at the legendary SVA starting in the Fall of 2009. This program looks to have all the things I have been searching for in a masters program, great faculty (Christopher Fahey, David Womack, Jason Santa Maria, Karen McGrane, Khoi Vinh, Paul Ford, Matt Owens, Rachel Abrams, Jeffrey Zeldman), a prestigious school, and some sort of coverage on interactive media. In theory this new program would actually surpass all of my criteria.
