Rethinking the Interaction Design Portfolio
12 likes5,739 views
This document discusses how interaction designers currently use PDF portfolios that do not showcase interactivity, which is counterintuitive. It proposes redesigning the interaction design portfolio to be fully interactive and portray the roles of an interaction designer through visual design, information architecture, usability, copywriting, and delighting the user. The redesigned portfolio would use in-line interactions and mockups to demonstrate projects in their original context while keeping the user on the site. The goal is to correctly showcase interaction design and make the portfolio experience interactive.
