[IxDA Discuss] "non-object" (What magazines do we like)

[Chris Bernard]

I think this article just points to the shabby state of design journalism in general in the mainstream press. I get much more stimulating insights from this list and the blogs of IxD practitioners and designers than I do from magazines like I.D., Metropolis or the like. Although I'm still a sucker for subscribing to them.

Ironically I had a chance to interview Rob Forbes (founder of Design Within Reach www.dwr.com) a few years ago for an article in I.D. and we talked extensively about how most design magazines are focused on such 'surface' topics or are what he called 'shelter' magazines, Like Dwell. Needless to say the article never saw the light of day.

It begs the question though. What journals and publications do like? Is it Interactions? Should GAIN be sold at Borders? What do others think?

Subject: [IxDA Discuss] "non-object"

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/04/an_interview_wi.html

In today's wired.com the above article is published which is an
interview with Industrial Designer, Branko Lukic who is heading a new
design studio called Non-Object (www.nonobject.com).

It talks about the "space" between you and the product. I'm reading
this and I have to say, isn't it just "experience design"?

Am I missing something? Is ID that far behind UX that it feels it
needs to create ED from scratch and give it a much cooler name? It
talks about "experiences" in the same way the ED movement (lack of a
better word) does.

Thoughts?
