List of Publications.

I wanted to post a list of publications for you to draw from for journal inspiration. Some of my faves for the topic of interaction design are:

AIGA's Loop

Boxes and Arrows

Maeda's Laws of Simplicity

The New York Times technology section (you will need to create a free account to access this)

All Things Digital (with Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal; his reviews can make or break a new product)

Subtraction 7.0

Kottke.org

I also just added a bunch to my Bloglines account. You can view my feeds here. Of particular interest for this class will be the ones in the "design" or "ixd" folders.
