Trends in Professional Development Programs: Designers and New Media
Presenter: Kurt Buesching, DP+Company www.dp-company.com
Round Table Discussion Moderator: Carla Gonzalez, CCS

Kurt Buesching has made his way from Graphic Designer to Manager of Interactive Services by teaching himself, and others, how to incorporate new media technology into his work. Designers need to be more flexible for today's client demands and that includes full-service design- print, web, marketing, advertizing. Buesching's experience within the industry as a new technology user, manager who hires and seeks out new talent and teacher of new and interactive media tools has led him to understand the continuing need for Designers in the Graphic, Print and Advertizing fields to update skills so their expertise in design can stand up to the demand.
