About this video

Description

In this wide-ranging talk about the changing world of interaction design, Khoi takes a look at the fundamental ways digital media is altering the value that designers bring to audiences. He examines the stark contrasts between human-centric publishing and machine-centric publishing, a shift that has wrought profound changes on how design is practised and what users expect from designers. Khoi charts the path from graphic design's maturation in the 20th century to interaction design's dominance in the years ahead.
