Interactions - September/October 2011

Feedback for
Liam Bannon

It’s interesting that the day after I decided to go back to school to finish my bachelor’s degree and study HCI, the latest issue of interactions arrived in my inbox. I’ve been reading the cover story (“Reimagining HCI: Toward a More Human-Centered Perspective,” July + August 2011), and although I’m not quite finished with the article, I find it relates to me more than ever.

I love the idea of interaction design. I’ve been following it for almost a year now and have finally decided that I want to move out of the graphic design/art direction field and into this one, but what I really like is the growing focus on the human part of the equation discussed in Bannon’s cover story.

Thanks for the article. Keep them coming—I love reading interactions.

Corrections

In the article “Move to Design/ Design to Move: A Conversation About Designing for the Body” (Let’s Get Physical forum, July + August 2011), Danielle Wilde’s byline should include the University of Tokyo, which supported some of her work discussed in the article.

Steve Portigal’s and Julie Norvaisas’s True Tales column (“Elevator Pitch,” July + August 2011) should include the following photo credit on page 15: Photographs on top by Steve Portigal. Photographs on bottom from left by Steve Portigal, Julie Norvaisas.
