?What if it was easier
for visual creative designers to learn and use technology
in graphic design software applications
?

Are there better ways for certain types of people(visual creative designers)
to learn certain types of information(coding in graphics software applications)
that are text based, (XML, Scripting)
than reading printed materials? (in book format)

October 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design
a guided task-centered approach
in a visual rather than textual format
using realistic contextual examples

October 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design
October 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design
a survey asking graphic designers about using automation and learning code
October 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design
establish a baseline of how designers understand and use automation
determine if graphic designers are…
AWARE AWARE of the automation features
know how to APPLY APPLY the features
understand the BENEFITS BENEFITS of the features

No school would allow the survey with their design students
No design group would allow the survey with their members

design-related academic programs: technical topic was not appropriatenot appropriate for their creative departments
graphics industry organizations: too technicaltoo technical for their constituents to be interested in or involved with
individuals: even a survey is too hardtoo hardOctober 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design

unexpected refusals by schools and groups to participate in the survey
rather than gathering survey results as intended, Cycle 1 became about requesting to distribute the survey
October 20, 2011 Teaching Code to Creatives - Removing learning barriers for incorporating XML automation into graphic design
identify the obstacles that designers have toward wanting to learn these technologies
focus was adjusted toward the strong opinions and negative emotions
new target to understand attitudes and reasons for this resistance

identify self and work on a range from creative to technical
describe feelings toward using technology in creative work
explain favorite methods for learning technology

Always!
Essential.
Styles are AMAZING, super quick and easy.
Fantastic, essential to the InDesign experience.
They are easy to use, I love them :)
Can't live without them.
Of course. I LIVE for styles!
I need godlike powers (of styles) to get my work done.
Styles make it so much easier.
Love this feature.

um, too hard to figure out.
I am not familiar with them and what their advantages/benefits are.
Just learned about these, not sure when to use them.
don't know enough about them
Don’t know about this one, but you can bet I will look it up soon.
what is that? / Que est que c'est? / was is das? / que que e? / no idea
I don't currently use automation because I haven't learned how to do it.
