Johnny TV Features: Drawing Ideas and Communicating Interaction


Earlier this year we interviewed Mark Baskinger, associate professor at the School of Design of the Carnegie Mellon University. In the interview Mark talks about drawing ideas and shares his thoughts about the differences between industrial designers and interaction designers and how interaction designers can use sketching to communicate their designs better.

Mark Baskinger teaches industrial design with an emphasis on form and interaction and conducts Drawing Ideas workshops

Note: the first minutes of the interview we had minor problems with the audio. No worries, this will go away…
