This deck is a gift to the students I've been teaching (a pleasure at that) for the last week at the Politecnico di Milano to help them continue learning IxD topics after I'm long gone. Interaction Design Resources from David Malouf  

To all my designer friends: Is your company recruiting designers? Will they be in 2013? Did you know that the best way to get on the radar screen of the best potential recruits is to have a booth at Interaction 13? Why you ask? Because those that come to Interaction conferences cross all ...

I am excited to announce to you all that I'll be co-leading with Haig Armen (@haigarmen) the Interaction Design Education Summit as a full-day workshop on Jan 27th as part of the Interaction 13 conference in Toronto. Here's the official blurb: At almost every Interaction conference a group of individuals have met at some ...

I'm really excited that the video of my talk on designing gestures with an eye to aesthetics is finally up and about. The complete title is "The Aesthetics of Motion in the Age of Natural User Interfaces" but it's really about how to think about designing for gestures as the ...

Recently I had the good fortune to here Jonah Lehrer (@jonahlehrer) give a wonderful keynote talk here at SCAD (@scaddotedu). He talk I can only assume will be part of his upcoming book, Imagine. There were two core subjects of his talk that struck me as valuable descriptors of how design ...

It's not often that your logo will be stacked tightly next to your competitor or rival, but I bet it will happen. In the case of conference sponsorship, it is guaranteed to happen. So something that graphic designers should think more about is the use case that a logo will ...

The Interaction Design Association of today is not the IxDG or even InteractionDesigners.com of yesteryear. The organization has grown faster than the rising stock of Apple over the the short 7 years since Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini made his call to action that gave conception to this organization. This is my ...

Found this great interview done by @JohnnyHolland of Mark Baskinger, Professor of Industrial Design & Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University. He talks beautiful about drawing and what value it gives the designer. Can't wait to reference this as part of my "secret sauce" workshop @UxLx next month in Lisbon. Check ...

As one of its primary founders, I often am in a position to represent IxDA to a much wider audience, or to communicate with other communities as a non-official representative. It's an awkward position to be in, but ...
