Good Design
By Michael CummingsPublished 4/5/09
Art vs. Design, Form and Function
Good design can seem subjective. Most design award contests are expert-judged, and the judging criteria are seldom formally defined or revealed. This may afford judges lots of latitude in their scoring, but there is a cost to the rest of us. This approach can leave untrained people thinking design quality is subjective; merely personal taste. And though it can sometimes be, it certainly need not be. So let's make a distinction, for baseline clarity.

Design Bliss
By Michael CummingsPublished 4/4/09
Design Bliss, Even In A Down Economy
In the world of software interaction design we talk a lot about empathic design. That's good, because designing well means understanding well the people we're designing for. But can we have empathy without compassion? Empathy and compassion can not only make us and others feel good, they are practical, useful tools we can apply to our design craft.

Can The Web Save Us?
By Michael CummingsPublished 6/29/08
Physics, The Internet, and Culture, Oh My!
The Web (yes, it is a place) has expanded network consciousness. As life itself is now widely considered to be a network of networks, inter-connected by information feedback loops allowing co-evolution, will human society's impact on nature become more, well, natural?
The internet-based hypertext web, so far, has proven a great journey for much of ... Read Full Can The Web Save Us? Article »
Got Strategy?
By Michael CummingsPublished 5/11/08
Got Strategy?
The way you can tell whether your organization has an interactive media strategy, and is using it, or not, is by how it measures goal achievement. If you produce interactive media and measure success in leads and sales ("conversion"), for example, then you have a sales strategy applied to media design and production. This is not the same as having an interactive media strategy. The way you can tell whether or not your organization has an interactive media strategy is if it measures interaction goals specifically. Because it i... Read Full Got Strategy? Article »
