Teaching Graphic Design

How design students learn sustainably
How do I teach design? Why is listening so important? What can we learn from other disciplines and cultures and from each other?
Answers to these and other questions are offered by Sven Ingmar Thies and his 24 interviewees, who are all united by a single wish: that their students should experiment, experience, and grow as designers. This book allows teachers of graphic design, design theory, game development, industrial design, and behavioral research from China, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Austria, and the USA to each have their say.
The in-depth conversations are complemented by a comprehensive reflection and sample assignments. This is a book for teachers and students alike that offers insights into the experiences of others, as well as inspiration for teaching, learning, and professional practice.
- New teaching methods & practical suggestions
- A comparison of the experiences of 24 design teachers from six countries

Biographie
Sven Ingmar Thies, born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, studied graphic design at Braunschweig University of Art and completed his final thesis in Tokyo and Yokohama. Since his time at university, he has focused on a holistic design approach that seamlessly connects to other design disciplines, other specialist areas, or even to handicrafts. This conviction was intensified further by two professional engagements at Henrion, Ludlow & Schmidt in London, where brands were holistically developed, and at Kitayama Institute in Tokyo, where he learned about the interplay between architecture and design during a two-year postgraduate scholarship. Besides being involved in project-related work for brand agencies Enterprise IG (today, Superunion) and Landor (today, Landor & Fitch), he founded Thies Design in 1998 which develops tailored brand experiences for enterprises and institutions. In addition to his professional activities, Sven Ingmar Thies has taught graphic design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna’s Class of Ideas since 2011.
