What is this?

So far… this is a collection of notes and helpful postings on designing for communication and interaction… in all kinds of mediums: emails, web and online interface and flows, print and online publications and collateral, events, multimedia, basically everything our design team comes across. So far, it’s just me compiling this… but hopefully other designers will be able to contribute too. You can sort the postings by tag to find good stuff on different topics.

Why the 11th floor view? That’s where we are, here in Santa Clara… and it probably affects how we see things, literally and metaphorically. (The photo, by one of our former team members, the fabulous photographer Johnny Au, is literally a view from the 11th floor here in Santa Clara! What a pleasure to see the mountains every day.)

The only poster so far… I’m Amelia, from a peripatetic past in publications and newspapers, lots of marketing communications, campaigns, and events, as well as most recently web design … as I wandered up and down the East coast and happily landed in the Northern California sunshine.

Wait, we have a new contributor! Michael Everitt, of Informativity. He’s also contributing his considerable creative and critical thinking to some of our website user flows. Looking for how to make things easier and more sensible, to help people find what they want and try our products on for size. We’re lucky to have him joining our 11th floor team.
