Interview Analysis

Dan Saffer; 'Interaction design is an applied art'

I found this article really interesting, I found it a really useful way of getting into the head of a successful interactive designer which allowed me to compare the way he works, to the way I work. The part of the article I found most interesting is where he is outlining all the other disciplines which are related to interaction design. It is amazing how many different disciplines are actually related and it makes you think about how big the interactive design industry actually is. I also found this article helpful with his pointers on what the typical mistakes made by newbies to the industry are. This allows me to avoid making these mistakes myself.

Joel Schafer; 'I'm into minimalistic clean design'

I really enjoyed this article. He gets straight to the point and also gives you a good idea of what his thought processes are when creating a website. I really like the idea of only using "greyscale + one color" when making a website. This is such a simple but effective idea, and it really allows him to put his own creative stamp on each website, this will be recognised by people and they will instantly know that he created the website. This article also had some really interesting tips and pointers for people who are new to the industry and this could prove to be a huge help to me.
