ADMIN: Reminder to trim postings

I know I am a committer of this foul, but I have been reminded that it is
proper ettiquette to try to trim your postings when you reply to use only
those aspects of the previous posts that you are directly responding to.

This has a huge benefit for those ...
1. using the digest version
2. working on slower machines
3. working on mobile devices
(I have felt this one in particular on my palm-based phone)
4. others I forgot to mention

But please! do not take this in any way to mean ... please be quiet.
the discussion has been great and amazingly informative. I love it!

IxD & ID (was RE: Patriarchs of the Design Family)

Kristoffer, I totally agree that this is a great discussion.

So are we in agreement then that there are two distinct disciplines? That
these disciplines have areas where they are completely tied together and
completely separate from each other?
Tied together: mobile computing, medical devices, et.

FW: Patriarchs of the Design Family

I'm sorry if I've led anyone to believe that I think
industrial design is "unconcerned with interaction".
What I was trying to say (thanks Dave H.) is that interaction
design (as I would characterize it) is concerned FIRST with
behavior, and then with form (as it applies to behavior).
Although industrial design must concern itself with behavior,
its focus, I would argue, is in most cases primarily form.

I was also not trying to imply that form is unimportant to IntD,
or should be entirely ceded to other disciplines.

Those who are interested in Icograda and its relation to interaction
design, please check out the daily reports from the recent Icograda
congress in Japan last month:

Calling interaction design "digital industrial design" might be a useful
metaphor
to help traditional designers feel more comfortable with it, but like most
metaphors,
it has significant limits.

DIS2004 -- Deadline update

=========================================================

DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS - DIS2004

Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1-4 August 2004

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleague,

Submission of Full Papers and Design Cases to DIS2004 is now open. The

deadline for submissions is 10 December 2003.

DIS2004 will take place in Cambridge MA from 1st - 4th August 2004. It will

provide a rich forum for discussing interactive systems design theory, new

design methodologies and for reflecting on design practice.

To further on Molly's note, it seems quite a bit of design comes from
research as well.

One could say design is the result of any realized knowledge.

MessageDo I defend IDSA or Icograda? Not necessarily, but I support every honest attempt to strengthen the voice of design.

Would I want to have someone else speak for me? Yes, if they among other things constitute a powerful (lobbying) force to develop, educate about and promote the importance of design to relevant stakeholders. No, if they presume to speak for the discipline I adhere to, interaction design, without having the required competence to do so, and going counter to my interests.

It's interesting to note that in Italy, industrial and product design
sprang from architecture. (Until recently, it wasn't possible to
study these things separately from them.) I also have heard but can't
verify that Italy graduates 10,000 architecture students each year.
Bill Moggridge at last weeks' Ivrea symposium indicated that
interaction design is a sort of digital industrial design (to Beth
Mazur's earlier point). Those who come from technology tend to look
at it differently: as a series of interfaces and interactions with
screens and layers of information.

Aren't there more than two design disciplines?

I tossed the above out to see what thoughts might emerge. Interesting that
some folks came back to defend the orgs.
