“Interaction” with Carla Diana and Brendan Dawes
In this show two wonderful people from the days where I went to Flash conferences are going to join me. Both were – and still are – well known for the work they do and have been pioneers in what they do. Both have written books read by many people and are highly respected role models. I am delighted that Carla Diana and Brendan Dawes found the time to join me today. I could go on and write about them for hours, but I invite you to join me and find out who they are – if you don’t know them – and to hear about what they are working on these days.
Presentations
In this session of the Café we are going to talk about interaction, or the ways that we connect with design through programmed responses, allowing us to get lost in the beauty of expression and the magic of the exchange. Brendan and Carla will share the passion around their work and talk about their varied approaches to creative technology.
