Interaction’09 | Post Conference Articles

Feb 12, ’09 9:24 AM

In the wake of the IxDA’s Interaction’09|Vancouver conference, I will be attempting to catalog every blog posting about the conference, about the sessions, reflects on lessons learned, or starts new vibrant debates the seem to not happen on the list. Please send me articles with links so I can keep this up-to-date.

Also – if you have ideas, or want to just write something (What inspired you? What engaged you? When pissed you off) – you can do so in the comments here, or you can post to the IxDA List.

Thanks, W

Pattern Languages for Interaction Design

Jan 27, ’09 7:56 AM

An Interview with Erin Malone, Christian Crumlish, and Lucas Pettinati

I stalked and captured Erin Malone, Christian Crumlish, and Lucas Pettinati to talk about design patterns, pattern libraries, style guides, and innovation. Erin, Christian, and Lucas are leading a workshop on design patterns at this year’s Interaction’09 in Vancouver; and, Erin and Christian are writing a book on patterns for designing social spaces for O’Reilly.

“An interaction design pattern is not a step-by-step recipe or a specification. It’s a set of things we’ve learned that tend to work in clearly defined situations as well as some known issues that need to be balanced or sorted out or otherwise addressed. A pattern is closer to a checklist than to a mock or a wireframe.”

How did you get your start in Interaction/Information Design?

Christian Crumlish (Xian): I came from book publishing where I wore many hats over the years (editor, author, agent). I ended up in technical publishing (“computer books”), an aftermarket made possible by shoddy user interfaces. This piqued my interest and the Web democratized information architecture, interaction and interface design.

Erin Malone: I actually started out as a print designer and Art Director. I went to grad school at RIT around the peak of CD ROMs. I did a project in Hypercard (in 1993). I thought I was going to do interactive education CDroms when I graduated but then the web happened. I taught myself HTML and came out to California to build Adobe’s first website, and I’ve been doing web applications and interactive work ever since.

Lucas Pettinati: I studied Architecture in college after realizing that one doesn’t learn how to design GUIs in a Computer Science program. My first job out of college was at an internet startup where I did general design work but it wasn’t until I created a user flow diagram that I fell in love with the principles of IA and Interaction Design.

“Designing and Building with Patterns and Pattern Libraries” workshop at Interaction‘09

Erin, Xian, and Lucas are leading a patterns workshop at Interaction‘09 in Vancouver. “Designing and Building with Patterns and Pattern Libraries” is a hands on workshop where participants will come away with some practical experience spotting patterns, describing them, and thinking about how to apply them to design work.

You can find out more about the workshop on the Interaction ‘09 website: http://interaction09.crowdvine.com/talks/show/2574

Interaction Design Pattern Libraries

Christian and Erin’s book, Designing Social Interfaces, has a website where you can contribute to, refine, and discuss social design patterns: http://designingsocialinterfaces.com/

Introduction to Interaction Design: An Interview with Dave Malouf

Johnny Holland Featured Interview

Johnny Holland Featured Interview

This February is the second annual Interaction Design Association (IxDA) Interaction’09 conference which is being held in Vancouver, British Columbia in conjunction with Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology. Dave Malouf, one of the founder’s of the IxDA, was kind enough to allow me to interview him recently about a workshop he will be giving, his take on the field of interaction design, and some thoughts about where the field is going.

[Will Evans] How did you get your start in Interaction/Information Design?

[Dave Malouf ] Well, I started in the web world. Back then doing HTML 1.0 meant you were a designer. I bounced from technologist to producer/project manager for a few years until I found User Experience and fell in love. The last 10 years has been a personal journey of discovering from the outside what “D”esign really means, how it is really meant to be practiced, and now how it is to be taught. Then I connect that to my passion for technology and human beings which combine to me into  Interaction Design.
