It took several years (and job titles) for me as well (though I'm not necessarily a “real” interaction designer), getting the “final” understanding by studies concerning industrial design (where Ralph Caplan helped a lot) as well as art (Da Vinci, ironically), among others. Anyway, I tend to claim that mere decoration (that still appears to be confused with design too often) will become almost equally important as a crucial aspect of how to create pleasant experiences. -- Jens Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
