I think most companies who care about having great interaction
design would also have at least pretty good and probably great
visual design.
Have you used Craigslist in the last 5 years? What visual designer
would put the Craigslist design in their portfolio?
Yup. It's a great idea, service and system, but it's no great shakes
in either interaction design or visual design. That's not where its
strength lies. It doesn't make it bad (it's good) and it does go to
show a simple idea can have a simple design, but it doesn't go against
what I originally said. I still can't think of something that has
great interaction design and rubbish visual design, but I can't think
of plenty the other way around.
Best,
Andy
