Design without understanding the medium?

If you have taken a drawing or painting class, you know one of the first items covered is the medium.  You have your papers, canvas, paints, pencils, charcoals, etc.  So when I see articles discussing web design and how you should understand the code behind them, it gets my interest.

The article presents and interesting question, how can you teach web design without teaching how they work?  I am fairly well known around campus as the kid who understands all the technical stuff about websites.  You know concepts such as using FTP clients and understand the code that creates a link. (<a href="http://www.google.com/" title="Example Link to Google">Google</a> if you don't know what a link looks like)

I am a firm believer of teaching people a little about the code, the sad part is most people resist the learning as it's "complex" or "difficult to learn".  It may take a little time to learn some of the tags, but if you intend to market yourself as a web designer down the road take a little advice and learn a little code.

I spend a large part of my day working on a BA in Graphic Design, so when I see an article about Graphic Design let alone one about how to improve the education process it's worth sharing.

If you have any involvement with Graphic Design take a moment and have a read.  Share it with a friend let's help future designers.
