| - | ======Post-formalism====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====Today’s state of cultural literacy is characterized by:==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * A non-critical culture of “browsing” fueled by digital media that flattens hierarchies of value and quality | ||
| - | * A dilution of expertise, specific knowledge, and considered points of view | ||
| - | * A proliferation of re-presentations of cultural artifacts that are divorced from original context, audience, and author | ||
| - | * A culture of “likes” and “hates” wherein respectful discourse is replaced by comments and re-posting | ||
| - | * A lack of skepticism or criticality of media that results in a shallowness of knowledge and lack of exposure to divergent, contradictory or minority perspectives | ||
| - | * The increasing availability and sophistication of graphic design tools and templates | ||
| - | * Form is no longer an end in itself, but rather a by-product of process and inquiry. | ||

| - | * Crafting process over crafting outcomes | ||

| - | * Identifying and defining criteria for excellence across media over technical mastery of specific media | ||
| - | * Locating one’s practice in the landscape of contemporary discourse over personal voice | ||
| - | * Learning to assess new unknown known over collecting the known known | ||
| - | * Balancing skepticism and imagination | ||
