Thesis Statement: Take 1 (and 2 and 3….)
[1] This thesis will examine the opportunities for cultural awareness and accelerated research in visual communications by ‘flattening’ the graphic design process through integrated global collaboration in the form of an collaborative group wiki and supporting social network that join multicultural and multidisciplinary audiences and resources.

Nicole Schadewitz in her essay “Design Patterns For Cross-Cultural Collaboration” (2009) asserts that technology assisted cross-cultural collaborative design requires an understanding of interaction design patterns to support intercultural teamwork in design learning environments. Schadewitz supports this assertion by showing design pattern research and the emergent 11 related design patterns that encourage social interaction and team management among participants by providing “an overview of related solutions for supporting design collaboration across national and geographical borders.” (44).1 Read the rest of this entry »

Working through some thoughts…
Question: What if, through technology-assisted collaboration, graphic designers could “flatten” the globe and receive feedback from other countries/locales? I would like to look at “flattening the globe” by allowing other artists (multicultural and multidisciplinary) to provide feedback on the design processes, thus enabling and empowering the designer to provide a well-rounded design. When we look at cultural nuances in visual communications, we are going off what we have learned in a book or magazine. Many designers have limited international travel experience.
