The IxDA NYC April event is an Interaction08 redux. We'll discuss sketching and storytelling as pivotal tools for design.
In his keynote, Bill Buxton convinced us that he views sketching as more than a design technique. At times, it can be a lifestyle choice. Sketches are used to explore a design problem: to generate alternatives, to elaborate upon them, and to winnow them. With this introduction, we'll give some examples of projects in which sketching has come in handy and invite you to do so too. We'll also visit storytelling. The conversational nature of a well-constructed story makes for engaging designs. We'll review and build on ideas reflected in talks by Sarah Allen, Chris Conley, and Gretchen Anderson. You can join in by telling a story that drove a successful project, or by recounting what happened when you tackled a project with a storytelling approach. Whether you were at the Interaction08 (http://interaction08.ixda.org) or not, we want to hear your stories about how sketching and storytelling have made a difference in your design work. In advance of the redux, we have created a wiki where we encourage you to offer sketches, stories and more that we can share during this lively discussion. For a wiki invitation, just request wiki access when you reply. Location to be announced on RSVP. To respond, send e-mail to nyc-rsvp at ixda dot org. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
