Recommendations to Students Regarding Adobe Creative Cloud

The Communication Design Program in the Department of Visual Studies is committed to engaging students in the critical study of design practice, theory and history, in an environment where students will acquire the technical knowledge needed for professional graphic design work. We believe that as digital technologies continue to evolve, design learning should not be focused on any given brand, but on the techniques and processes that allow for the expression of critical thought. Designers have overwhelmingly chosen Adobe tools over the past two decades, owning partly to Adobe’s innovation and partly to its acquisition of competitors. It is erroneous, however, for a designer to attribute her or his success to their choice of tools. Success is not dependent on how well you know the Photoshop interface, for example, but on how well you can adapt and apply knowledge to new scenarios using whatever tools are at your disposal.

Open Source Ecology is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters that for the last two years has been creating the Global Village Construction Set, an open source, low-cost, high performance technological platform that allows for the easy, DIY fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a sustainable civilization with modern comforts. The GVCS lowers the barriers to entry into farming,building, and manufacturing and can be seen as a life-size lego-like set of modular tools that can create entire economies, whether in rural Missouri, where the project was founded, in urban redevelopment, or in the developing world.
