THIS IS A PDF FILE
but you can’t interact with the work itself.
The work is interactive,
SQUANDERED POTENTIAL
The irony is that Interaction Design is most suited for the
web, yet uses the least appropriate medium.
The interactions, gestures, info architecture, experience,
and many other aspects of the design are ignored.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
REDESIGNING THEINTERACTION DESIGN
PORTFOLIO
OBJECTIVE
Rethink the way we portray the role of interaction
designers, and the way we present interaction design.
CRITERIA

At first, this project was meant to be more of an
educational site, but now it’s a pure portfolio.

IN-LINE INTERACTION
One of the best ways to present design work is to visit the original context
pros: context, full experiencecon: you have to leave the site

DESIGN IS A PROCESS
Market Research
Wireframing
Usability Testing
Iteration
etc.
You can learn a lot about designers through their
design process.
The final portfolio will include details about my process
RECAP
Interaction Design isn’t presented in the best way.
I want to make this better, using my portfolio as a test.
I’ll do this by creating an actually interactive portfolio.
and by presenting many ofmy roles as a designer.
It’s going to be pretty rad.
