I have been taking a lot of time to carefully read over a lot of my books that are based around interaction design. It really is amusing what you can do, being an interaction designer. You are, essentially, a human-problem-fixer. You must understand how humans work with interfaces, you have to be a good problem solver. I am starting my senior thesis project soon and i have been bringing a lot of pre-developed ideas into play. I would like to boost my programming abilities before i attempt a task that would be out of my league. I am pretty sure i would like to start the programming in "processing". I have been getting a lot of inspiration lately from being around here. Australia is going to be one of the prime factors in the development of my project. The culture, wildlife, humanlife, especially the oceanic life, and over all, the interactions that occur everywhere.

let's begin!


Today will be the first day of moving foward with my senior thesis. I am currently residing on the best place on this planet, australia! As an interactive designer, i want to be able to design interaction for anybody, that will include other cultures. I started classes last week and so far i am really excited to further my study, my senior thesis, and my design skills as an interaction designer. I have brought some of my old books to help me with this process as i am learning: Designing for Interaction, DON'T MAKE ME THINK!, programming interactivity, and making things talk. I found all of these books to be extremely helpful for anybody interested in this field. I will begin by reviewing these books!
