Virgina Postrel on user experience: Virginia was the editor of Reason magazine for many years, and is now an author and blogger. In this interview with the American Graphics Institute she talks mostly about how general design affects the user experience, but the ideas apply to design of web publications and applications as well. The ideas reinforce those of the DevCon keynote from Rob Burgess. “I think that design is only going to be more important. Good design will be required to even play the game. There has been a lot of innovation in the past decade, but there is still a lot of room for improvement… the pressures are towards personalization. People want more choice.” [JD on MX]
