UCDA : connecting, inspiring, and supporting a creative community in education

UCDA Journal: A Source for In-House Creators

UCDA now has an online journal! We hope this becomes a space to gather inspiration and knowledge, as well as elevating the role of our members.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the content we’ll provide to you, which we hope to publish twice a week:

  • UCDA Design Show Award winners will discuss the inspiration and process behind the work.
  • Select content from our award-winning magazine Designer.
  • Interviews with upcoming speakers, so you can learn more about their work before seeing them at events.
  • The stories behind some of our member’s award-winning shots.
  • Topical discussions from design educators about the future of design education.
  • Conversations between members.
  • Workflow and process issues: how others are solving those problems.

Do you have a topic you think we need to include? Let us know what matters to you and we’ll try to get content that you need to make your work better and easier.

You may suggest topics or submit stories here.

We hope you enjoy reading it and share it with others so that we can grow our community. And, most importantly, we want this journal to belong to you. We are looking for people willing to contribute. If you want to be a part of it, reach out! It’s a great opportunity to develop your writing skills and let your manager know that you’re nationally published.
