from the logos...
⢠These are art schools with strong design
programs in things like fashion, visual design,
industrial design and brand strategy
⢠They donât have programs in library science,
human factors, or any other speciality that IA
is currently most tied to
⢠Like many organizations, they are stressed out
about technology and the implications of
things like the internet, mobile, big data

specialize in NOT IA. Those designers need to know when to say âI
canât do this level of IA work, we need someone else toâ
⢠We also need to make a world where really talented IA thinking
people are not thrown out because they cant do all the other
specialities within âUXâ
