BFA Portfolio Show!
We’re graduating! Hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by. We will be hosting our BFA portfolio show at 1927 Events in downtown Seattle on June 5th from 4-8. Come grab a drink and check out what we’ve been up to for the past year. There is lots of parking in the area and light refreshments will be provided. Can’t wait to see you there!
Check out our website and see our individual portfolios if you haven’t already here: http://www.wwubfadesign.com
In celebration of Design Days Iron Street Printing came up to campus and screen printed with students! Passers-by could pick a t-shirt (designed by WWU design students) and then screen print it themselves with the help of the generous folks at Iron Street. A huge thank you to them for all their help!
Tomorrow we will have a talk by current and future BFA students about UX/UI design at 11:30 in Communications Facility. The events will conclude at night with keynote speaker Toby Grub, creative Director at Instrument. We are unbelievably excited to hear Toby speak and also to talk with him further Friday morning.
To see a full list of events, check out our website: http://www.wwu.edu/design/wwudesigndays/
The most interesting phenomenon emerging from recent trends is not the silence of developers in the face of conflicting interests with operating system makers. Developers should be expected to bend towards the present incentive structure. What has been surprising is the response of designers, particularly visual designers: their eagerness to follow the trend toward flatness. A trend that ultimately goes against their interests. Even those few who have criticized flat design (who have rarely been rigorous in their critiques) generally bought the operating system makers' line of thought that UI design needed a radical rethinking. These visual designers lacked conviction in the integrity of their craft's history.
An interesting read!
Very thankful we had the opportunity to work with Jason Sack and present our ideas to Wieden+Kennedy in Portland! Our UX workshop taught us a lot about applying empathy in design and really considering who we're designing for. Overall, such an invaluable experience.
A designer’s process determines the difference between mediocre and great work. Natural talent and training aren’t substitutes for good design habits. The right process can cover many shortcomings of...

Shout out to Chris!
Thanks for stopping by the BFA studio today, and good luck getting into the design program! We're sure you'll love it at Western next year. Keep in touch!
Earlier today, Paula took us out for a little BFA field trip to get the creative juices flowing.
Semplice - designer's best kept secret
http://www.semplicelabs.com/ If you're looking to design your portfolio and templates aren't really your thing, we definitely recommend using Semplice. Best part is that you don't have to pay a subscription. In fact, the BFA website was built using Semplice. Check it out!
UI Sound Kit will allow you to fill your site, app or any other kind of digital creation with a collection of thoroughly recorded and selected sounds. Inside the…
This month we've started our next workshop! We're fortunate enough to be working with lead UX designer from Wieden+Kennedy, Jason Sack. Our project has a tight focus on using various methods of user research to identify and solve a problem within the realm of elderly healthcare systems. So far some great ideas have been developed, and we look forward to pitching them down in Portland later this month!
At the beginning of February we had the honor of taking a four day trip to San Francisco to visit firms and meet up with WWU alumni. One of our first stops was at Volume, where we had the opportunity to talk with Eric Heiman and learn about Volume's recent work and design strategy.

Very in-depth look into how Twitter prototypes and iterates on its design comps.

Last week Friday we had the honor of presenting our final Make.Shift video. At the premiere we presented our guest professor, Caleb Young of Hand Crank films, with a thank you gift. Thank you so much for all you've done Caleb!
Western's Design BFA was lucky enough to have Ann Willoughby join our class to give us feedback on our projects, followed by an inspiring lecture which she gave to many Western students. We loved Willoughby Design's LiveBlue interior (and her barn)!
Currently on our speakers in the studio :)
