This I Believe
I believe that good interactive design is design that doesn’t get in the way. Which is not to say that I think flashy eye-candy is the wrong approach. Sometimes it’s exactly what the doctor ordered and you need to throw in some robots and laserbeams. But usually you need to get people’s eyeballs to see the content you want them to see. If this is done in the most elegant way possible, the viewer may not think about the design at all. That to me, is successful interactive design.
