[IxDA Discuss] Information Architecture or Interaction Design

[Robert Reimann]

I like to think of User Experience Design as a 3-circle Venn diagram,
where the circles represent Form, Behavior, and Content design.  The
circles each intersect with each other. IxD occupies the Behavior
circle, but overlaps with the Form and Content circles to some degree.
IA occupies the Content circle, but overlaps with Form and Behavior to
some degree. And Industrial Design (and Visual Design)
occupy the Form circle, but overlap with Content and Behavior to some
degree. As others have said, there are clearly overlaps in skill sets
in these design practices; it is (IMHO) more a matter of focus and
where the depth of expertise lies.

Robert.
