Topic: Design: Natural or Learned & DDR
Length: 46:38
Today, on episode 14 of Live From the 101, we tackle the subject that Paul Scrivens brought up on the 9rules blog about whether design is a natural occurrence in people or if it can be learned. We also take a look at my brief DDR history, an upcoming tournament and the whereabouts of Episode 13.

Nice! I really liked the part about whether design is a natural occurence or not.
Cheers!

I’m going to disagree with you regarding the natural occurrence question, only because there’s a angle I don’t think that you guys really considered.
The development of the brain is a unique occurrence for each individual, with neural pathways growing in infinite patterns before a child is ever born. We’re not all born with the same set of noodles. These patterns can form very particular tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses that although may not teach them how to use a pencil specifically, will cause one child to be curious about the object in question, where another child will only have the desire to smash it.
Humans have genetic and chaos-driven instincts that guide us in the roles we partake in. These instincts are a direct result of which parts of our brains have had a higher influence of development.
I suspect that creativity is much like intelligence, where you can train and guide existing prodigal skills, but it has to be there in the first place. Those born with lower-developmental regions will never really learn the skills in the same way that someone with a higher-aptitude would.

Anton: I disagree with them for the exact same reasons, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Bryan, you need to show the whole world how web professionals get down. Do it for all the designers around the world that have a non-geeky side. You should post Episode 13!
POST IT! POST IT! POST IT!
