[old thread... I was thinking about it for a couple of days...] I've been lurking for a while and seeing threads (on this list and others) where people have been narrowly defining interaction design as something that only takes place in a web browser.
In particular I feel that the experience of a product or service is inherently the expression of its brand... But somehow different practitioners are given control over the oveeall experience of the brand... interaction design, branding, advertising, and product design. (Ok, Apple may be the exception.) I did generalize and it was a bit harsh but since then I've seen some posts that did have a more broad view and I'm happy to know they're out there. -Andrew (PS: Bill Buxton is my hero! I've been reading his work and seen him speak. I'm in alignment with his vision of where this is all headed.) _ __ ___ ____ _____ Andrew G.
