rethinking on elements of interaction design: beyond the descriptions

Hi There,

In thread http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=16346, there's
discussion on "elements of interaction design", which was a very
interesting at that time.

Separate Navigation labels and page titles

I¹d love to hear people¹s opinion on how closely navigations titles should
match page titles.

E.g. A primary nav might include ³Products | Services | Customer Service |
About Us². These titles need to be short to fit into the space and to make
choosing one easy and strait forward.

Clicking on ³Products² in the navigation would bring you to a page that has
an top heading (H1).

Questions:
Should that H1 title be exactly the same? E.g ³Products²
Is it OK if it is a little friendlier? E.g ³Our Great Products²
Is it OK if it very different?

Thank you all for commenting

Nik, Iam waiting for your comments about the IIEED proposal I sent you

Mukesh, interesting link shall dig it more

Angel, the line between an active interior space and another art
installation is one of the possibilities an interior designer can fall into,
my idea was to develop the engagement qualities between the users or
visitors and the space to achieve a more sensory, mind manipulation and
emotional interactive experience.
