As promised I did start a blog for our class. The reason I felt it necessary to have a space outside of D2L is we will have several online interviews of people working in the field of interface design. As a class we can pull 3 good questions and ask professionals their opinions about what is happening in interface design today. I have invited several designers...and later in the semester you will be responsible for contacting someone yourself. Additionally, I would like all of you to contribute to the blog at minimum once every two weeks...and once a week for additional credit. You may post interesting examples of interface design, articles, your own work....even questions for the class.
We have our first confirmation from a speaker. Her name is Valeria Carlson and she is Vice President of Creative at Razorfish International. Stay tuned for more speakers and additional instructions.
