I love IxD (Interaction Design) ..
I spent about 6 years surfing that field ..
At first, my goal was encapsulated within Flash Platform. I was doing Web Design because it combines Art Design with Interactive Content, I used to love Art Illustration from the first place (Oil Painting and such) ..
Then I hit the development career by learning AS (ActionScript), I adore that scripting language, it has all the keys to the interactive world ..
At some point later I learned PHP and MySql in order to develop the required services for RIA (Rich Internet Applications) with Flash front-end, along with the use of Flex and AIR ..
From my point of view, I see that Design and Programming are not actually separated; they serve each other to deliver the best UX (User Experience), Finally I realized that there’s no way to dig deeper in my field with this knowledge only ..
To be an Interactive Developer you should be part designer, part programmer, and part audio/video editor with an active and growing interest in 3D technologies, and above all, the user oriented thinking .. It’s all about action and response ..
But .. reaching the mind and touching the eye by taking care of details leads to evolve the Design part, and I am not referring to the artistic aspect only, but also the Mental, Emotional and Physical aspects ..
Combining all above we can form the very idea of being an Interaction Designer ..
It’s a very long way ahead, the best part I found about myself is UX, I love AS because it gives me the power to promote that part, and my Design Skills are always leading the way ..
This blog represents my personal thoughts and some technical challenges passing by ..
I don’t think that I will ever stop, my battery still full.
