Description:
Interaction Design as Sculpture

So far, we have created mountains of Wireframes, Feature Specs, Personas and
Scenarios to get the job done. But we are now at a point in Interaction
Design/UX where we need to consider more than just designing usable, useful
products and services for the web. People now have higher expectations for
transparent, intuitive and simple ways to interact, research, shop and
decide. At the same time, CEOs are starting to look at us to solve their
hairiest business problems. Easy, right?

Andrew Green an Experience Designer at Avenue A | Razorfish, will explore
these new challenges and explain some fresh ways to think and design for
them including ideas on Mobile Convenience, Emotional Findability,
Interaction Manners, and the general need for all Interaction Designers to
stop making sculptures.
