Interplay: Interactive Design, Lauren Parker

What constitutes good interactive design and what qualities lie behind the work of the most original designers in this rapidly evolving field?

She looks at how designers are playing with the conventions of the format; how the sometimes rocky relationships between art and design and between the individual and the global corporation can bring about innovative outcomes; and how the future of interactive design is being mapped out in the brave new technological world.
