Design Thinking !

Creativity is limitless and different for each people. I think we just need to give them enough knowledge how to develop your ideas and principles of design. For me, I believe that delivering knowledge is better with series of workshops or group activities. Gathering all the geeks for information session with series of related activities might work well. As designers we tend to give experience to other people through our design. This time, the challenge is to design gathering session with all the geeks and then let them gain knowledge from the activities through their own understanding. In the end, even geeks can be creative to make their own designed interactive kiosk.

For example competing on a group might be interesting for the geeks. Then they started to interact with each other and they will understand what interaction means. What is interesting and what is not. What is engaging and what is boring. To make them compete also useful to make them think like a designer. being perfectionist through what they create. As a designer that wanted to teach other, we must be able to copy our design thinking and methodology to other.

After they were able to think like a designer, the next step is to educate them with the theory and principles of design for the interface itself. About color theory, contrast, materialities, fonts, visibility, etc. We need to feed them enough with theories of design they can use to develop their idea.

Is Digital Art really Art?

Of course it is! 

Digital art is the form of art that include the use of Digital technology in the process of the making and also in their performance. They also known as the new media art which is getting popular nowadays. Not saying that traditional art such as painting and sculpting is not up to date anymore, but including technology to your artwork might possibly make it more brilliant.

Both term traditional art and digital art are equally interesting. Each has different qualities that you might not find on the others. While traditional art is more abstract, asymmetrical, and variative depends on the artist. Digital art tend to look more professional, and symmetrical on its look. For example, the making of textile pattern, such as batik by hand is more variative which is interesting. While doing it with digital media might make the pattern look symmetrical and looks like a perfect pattern.

Another example of course would be 3D printing.
Look at how interesting this shoes is!
