Description
Side projects can be an important and useful part of your career path. They can also be a huge distraction from your day job if you let them.
In this episode we talk about the impact our side projects have had on our careers and what we’ve gotten out of them from not only an educational perspective, but also for our own personal growth.
The itch to work on a certain type of project could mean that type of creativity is missing from your life. We discuss how we use our side projects to feel creatively fulfilled and share advice for if you have ideas but are unsure of starting a side project alongside your day job. More at www.designlife.fm

003: The self taught vs. formal education debate: In this episode we're talking about learning design, and discussing whether designers should get a formal education or teach themselves. We go through what we believe are the pros and cons of both learning methods (we both had our share of awkward critique sessions at university...) and talk about how interesting it is that we work in an industry where you don't have to get a degree to find a job, because experience is so valuable. As well as some background on our formal educations, you'll also get some links to great online resources we've been using to learn since finishing university. We really want to hear your thoughts on this topic! Tweet us and tell us what you think. by Design Life
