Does open ended creative technology give positive impact in learning design? Although there are many researchers had examined on the impact of technology on design education but there are very few conclusive researches done on the impact of open ended used of software to learning design. This paper sought to investigate a group of student-s experience on relatively wider range of software application within the context of design project. A typography design project was used to create a learning environment with the aim of inculcate design skills into the learners and increase their creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The methods used in this study were questionnaire survey and personal observation which will be focus on the individual and group response during the completion of the task.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Marshall, L. & Austin, M, Design is theory and practice, not theory with\r\npractice, in Gale, H (ed) Learning and Teaching Projects 2002\/03.\r\nUniversity of Wolverhampton\r\n[2] Johann Ross, 2000, \"Common mistakes for a graphic designer\" an\r\narticle ranked and rated #7 from # Helium's members.\r\nAvailable:http:\/\/www.helium.com\/items\/1158839-poor-graphic-designmistakes\r\n[3] Webb, N, Verbal interaction and learning in peer-directed groups.\r\nInternational Journal of Theory into Practice. 24 (1), 2001, 32-39.\r\n[4] Swann, C.
