Ask me anything  
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. I, Steve: Steve Jobs in His Own Words | Brain Pickings

Academy of Art University | Web Design & New Media | A Conversation with Don Norman and John Kolko (by academyofartu)

From this talk, I am more interested in the idea of learning MBA and Policy as a designer, which makes me think.

Many cool 3D+animation effects. Many familiar interaction patterns and concepts. But the demo makes me think that they are showing off the coolness of the interactions for its own sake. Many questions about it. I would like to see the interactions are shown in action in different user scenarios, solving a problem, finishing a task, which will make me put it in context. Don’t mean to be harsh, but it is beauty at a first glance for me and not sure I will keep a sustained interest.
