Re: [IxDA Discuss] [plug] In-progress book about interaction design on Kickstarter
hi Nick, writing a book about our craft check out Kim Goodwin's book - Designing for the Digital Age. It really covers everything you need to know about our craft (except what was already covered in About Face) and the relationship to other design disciplines. would be interesting to know more about what does your book add to the already existent ones? and the target audience. From your PDF it seems more towards educating product managers / business. Cheers, Adler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] His this an Interaction Design issue?
Olá, I'm involved in a organisation of a meeting to promote a urban historic centre renewal trough the participation of the highest number of actors that use the respective space. Due to my designer / architect profile and the interest about the issues of interaction design in its more broad usages, I wold like to have a sense of receptivity of the implementation of Interaction design work process in this kind of initiatives. At the end, if using the interaction design designation it's suitable, after all we wish to give conditions for the citizens to design the interactions of the users in this urban context (Lisbon - Portugal).

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Sources for Design Inspiration
Dan Saffer, great slide show thanks. I share with you the inspiration sources, just a comment about the absence of movement in Architecture, Corbusier had the concept of promenade architectural and since then the architecture composition it's seen as a narrative. Arts and Crafts in fact its a big reference, and it's deeply related with my greater source of inspiration. The sense of use in objects, the way that they are personalised, and get old, the form that the objects gain with use, the different usages that objects have even when not design for that function, this kind of manifestations surround us, mainly in the less consumerist countries.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxD translation ?
Perfect Luís! our community in Lisbon arrived into a consensus, we will maintain the original English version name. - this from professional to professional, I think that for each usage the sensitivity of the speaker will determine if immediate translation it's needed. In fact the English words usage in our Portuguese world sometimes it's a cheap and low quality attempt of creating some kind of fashionable aura around something. Translations are needed, and wen we talk about translations, we talk about thinking the idea from a different culture point of view, it's not only the words, but also the sense that it's cause. (as Luís said) That's why discussing this theme in the IxDA context it's so important. Pedro Soares Neves Userdesign.org . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Book proposals to look at
A book release it's as posted by Dan Brown, a group of factors that create the product. But above all the relation between the publisher and the author it's essential, many of the great works, books, films, music etc... comes from author creating it's publishing conditions, the do it your self it's the guarantee of publishing without any restrictions for the author. Personally this is my experience, with some friends we have created magazines, movies in dvd, and even books, all at our risk, and from our point of view it's always worthy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] When those who know little about Usability offer Usability Services
I'm happy you are happy to see action from Lisbon. :) When I've made reference the closed way in the APPU, was not in the context of the civil association and the open associative membership, that I think it's great and a an important initiative. I don't want to be unfair. And I don't what to measure forces that I don't have (please), I just what to know the possible relation between the APPU and the idea of Face2face IxD group in Lisbon, but for that we really need to talk, the question its that Bruno just doesn't reply to my emails...

Re: [IxDA Discuss] When those who know little about Usability offer Usability Services
Pedro, although I'm happy to see some action and some liveness coming from Lisbon, I honestly believe that you're taking the wrong approach here... Reading you stating that APPU works in a closed way just doesn't make sense and it's actually not true at all, especially if one considers that APPU it's according to the portuguese law, a civil association and open to anyone who wants to join in as member as stated on it's website. It's also very sad to read here by your own letters that it survives at the expense of a very close circuit, which has not only being growing, but it has only grown by the efforts of its members to actually promote the subject of user interaction and usability in national and international terms. I personally think you're being most unfair here... Second, it's a fact that Bruno isn't currently working in Portugal, which put him more or less on/off phisically, the truth is that he has been always virtually present in Portugal even when is not here in person. But APPU isn't Bruno alone so you can always address any of the other public members of the association. I'm certain that as a member of association you've certainly received several emails and invitations to all the APPU promoted actions. Being one of the founding members, I'm really sad to see that instead of joining forces with APPU you've decided to measure forces and directly attack the work of others, that like yourself are only claiming more work/awareness and action around interaction design in Lisbon/Portugal. I do sincerely hope that you might come to your senses and realize that the best way is definitely by joining forces and not the other way around... at least I'm a strong believer that together we can make a difference and not the other way around. Feel free to drop me a line and we'll meet to talk. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] When those who know little about Usability offer Usability Services
I'm also from Lisbon, and I know Bruno. The Design associative scene in Portugal it's very recent and don't have a clear structure. Within this context the APPU association it's a good initiative but due to the absence of associative basis in terms of a more broad design association culture, survives with a very paused heart beat, and unfortunately at a closed circuit. At some time ago I have decided to organise a series of meetings around the Interaction design concepts, and there are some interest, we already meet once, and there's some expectative about the follow ups feed into a mailing list of 35 professionals at this moment. Me and other people that already have some curiosity around the interaction design issues in Lisbon and the developments will welcome Bruno for moving more meetings and to clarify the IxDA face to face Lisbon structure. All the best. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Graffiti IXD
I'm a retired graffiti writer, pioneer of this type of manifestation in Lisbon, Portugal, at the same time that I've graduated in communication design (1999). After graduation and one year in Prague I have quitted practicing, the mercantilist society that we live in take over graffiti in Lisbon, cans clothes even mass media adopted the language, and the dream of 10 young creative minds (that I was one) was drown by the incontrollable mass of new writers that without any criteria made many mistakes transforming Lisbon as many other cities full of visual noise that have plasticity but associated to the drama in some sort of Nietzsche way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche Well I've searched answers in a Urban design PhD, in Barcelona, and in a Master course in Rome about the theme of participation, trying to find continuously answers to the problem created in my mind that relates the will of participation of a teenager and the absence of opportunities for doing something visible, collectively apprehensible, by partners and competitors, growing this way a true relation with places and society, always protected by anonymity. My (very resumed) life history enplaned here have the purpose of putting in focus a suggestion of relation, do you see some or in fact I'm in the wrong discussion list?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxD Managers (was: d schools)
I have no big opinion about that, I think that each one must follow their paths, if they are more creative or more management style, the most important it's the final product or service, and in that point of view can affect citizens, users. The management, the coordination, it's an important task but it's just a task, don%u2019t let the power affect the good strait production and creative side of human nature. sevenpedro( at )gmail.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
