On the importance of digital content writing
Too often when we are making we forget the importance of our words, especially in the land of prototyping and mockups, but this article really talks about how the two go hand in hand. This also reflects what I am seeing in job listings that ask our students to have strong writing and editing skills along with the ability to be content creators.
Lesson / Tutorials
As many of our students are beginning to think (we hope) about their final project, I thought it would be nice to share this great HOW TO on creating a moodboard. (Substitute the word moodboard with infographic, plansbook, etc. - it's all about planning before doing.
This gives students (or you) some great examples and a step by step way to plan a project. They also can learn some new software skills.
