Symbolism In Fiction

In my opinion, the standard for a student as an innovative designer relates to all the 21st century skills. All the indicators to an innovative designer lean a little more heavily to critical thinking and creativity than communication and collaboration. In order to deliberate design process to generate ideas, test theories, and so on, a student must be able to critically think about what the best way to approach the design process and then use their creativity to create something new.
