re: beauty in design

A good discussion.

Beautiful and good are not easily used together. Beauty is found in
solutions that we connect with. I find beauty in designs that are similar to
ones I have already done, or would like to do. In this way I see the value
of a solution as a reflection of knowing what goes into it. In this way the
beauty of a solution can be seen only by others who appreciate the problems
of creating it.

FYI: Comic Strip

About OK/Cancel
http://www.ok-cancel.com/about.html

OK/Cancel is a comic strip written for a very specific audience, but much of
what we talk about is quite universal. Most everybody can relate to things
in the world which don't work like they should -- and you needn't be a
usability specialist, interaction designer, industrial designer or any sort
of designer to appreciate that frustration.

Open Source Interaction Design

Long email. A quick read.

Is there an Open Source Interaction Design forum? Will it thrive?

Most practical UI books seem very basic, nearly condescending, and give
guidelines for very basic, obvious scenarios. GUI Bloopers is one
example of such a book. Helpful, but mostly, obvious.

I am looking for a website or discussion group where the activity can to
refresh my background in cognitive, psychological, phenomenological and
persuasive principles that help cull brainstormed ideas, beyond the
hints from user study, ethnography etc.

Reinventing email

An outstanding example of user research and interaction design from
IBM's Collaborative User Experience Team.

http://www.research.ibm.com/remail/index.html

"The Collaborative User Experience (CUE) team in IBM Research has spent
nearly a decade studying email. Not only has email become one of the
most pervasive and successful collaborative tools available, it has
also become a key component of IBM's Lotus Software offerings.

PPT as art

A little break ... http://wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,61485,00.html

David Byrne of the Talking Heads is making PowerPoint Art. I found this
interesting, especially in light of the talk about tools being used outside
their intent.

enjoy!

RE: Beauty and Transparency

For those who may not be familiar with it, there is an interesting body
of research at Caroline Hummels' site at Delft.
http://studiolab.io.tudelft.nl/hummels/research
Her work centers around the question of interactive aesthetics, which
butts up quite rapidly against questions of interaction and beauty in
general.

For example, the 2000 text "Actions speak louder than words: shifting
from buttons and icons to aesthetics of interaction" (scroll down her
publications list a little) offers five criteria for evaluating
