Two names that have greatly influenced my interaction work: Jakob Nielsen & Edward Tufte. They focus on very specific aspects of it (usability and visual information presentation), and I don't always agree with everything they advocate -- but what I have learned from them has greatly shaped my work.
Other possibilities: Jony Ive (the iPhone design may match Coke bottles, if not Falling Water ;-), Peter Morville, and Jesse James Garrett. I do agree that the field needs to mature before people make these calls. bests, Alex O'Neal -- The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The next best time is now. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
