cool diagram Lizfwiw, .. my experience is from communication design (what you call graphic design)and when I recently did a brown-bag at adaptive path SF, about 75% of the people in the room (who all called themselves interaction designers) were from communication design backgrounds. The rest were from liberal arts backgrounds.
Elizabeth,I like where you’re headed with this.You might want to add in Service Design as a supplementary design specialty; and change the wording on Marketing to something along the lines of communicating value instead of ‘make people buy products’.For me, you also need to consider the related business functions that help deliver the experience – logistics, finance, customer service, operations etc. They need to be incorporated into the overall experience design and strategy.Steve
This is more properly a view of the IxD discipline as it’s own specialty. If the focus was on UX then it’s range of skills and helpful backgrounds would be shown. I’d love to make the diagram interactive at that level. This could be a helpful tool for recruiters, like "we need an IxD with strong communication skills" or "we need a UXD with strong logistical skills".
<div>Cool. I think i see where yr headed. Seeing some of the other states would be interesting… <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div>
Liz, Is that gambrel roof on that UX house?! Too cool (guess I miss the old farm). Ditto for Service Design (Steve Baty); how about adding "emotion" to User Researcher, e.g., "Analyzes, synthesizes, creates frameworks for opportunity, based on what people think, feel and do; ethnography, psychology, social sciences . . ."
