This question among other discussions on design and design education is the focus of this year’s Valencia Design Education Forum 2020( #VDEF2020 ), organised on 5-6 November 2020, by the team of the New Art School, Glug Valencia and EASDV. Originally planned to take place in Valencia, due to COVID19, the event is going to be held virtually, via Zoom.

This year’s event, following the success of last year’s Alicante Design Education Forum 2019(ADEF19), brings specialists from all over the world, to share their teaching experience and their similarities and differences in teaching Art and Design at an international level, while rediscovering the common language of visual communication, and proposing creative, direct and applicable solutions to the many challenges that affect design education today.

I studied for five years in total at art school in the 1970s, Graphic Design and Illustration. At Maidstone College of Art my tutors included Greenaway Medal-winning Gerald Rose and, by contrast, Brian Eno. I worked solely as a freelance illustrator for 15-20 years, across most areas of the field while gradually takin on part-time teaching alongside my practice, eventually taking on Course Leader role for BA Illustration.
