Ontario College of Art and Design


Last week the Ontario College of Art and Design held its annual exhibition of the work of the college's 2009 graduate students. Over an intense eight month period, nearly 70 Industrial Design students present their "theses" which are the culmination of their previous 3 years of study. These cover the fundamentals that give students their development tools such as design research, stakeholder analysis, persona and experience development, refinement and production of a prototype ,and presentation of a product, service or system that can be put to market. Impressive to me was how many of the students' projects were dedicated to energy conservation projects, greening our cityscape, and eco-sustainability. Our future is good hands.
