    I hope to see you at an event soon.

    Blend is an environment that combines wire framing, experience prototypes, navigational maps, GUI documentation, prototypes and development of UI code. Released just 3 years ago, Blend has become a stable designing and developing environment for desktop, web and phone applications.

    April 1st - Innovation Interface
    Design is often considered to be a master at multi-disciplinarity. In this paper I consider how ‘the user’ is central to design’s ability to manage ‘multidisciplinary working’ so very well. I want to argue that ‘the user’, as a boundary object, affords multidisciplinarity in design. Put another way, I want to explore how ‘the user’ as a device is capable of gathering and gluing together many different disciplines. I am critical, however, of the hegemony of the ‘user’ within design. In its place I want to explore the possibility of materialized social practice as a new boundary object and consider what this might mean for design’s multi-disciplinary claim. I will draw on the emergent design field of ‘social innovation’ in making this argument.

    Dr Simon Blyth co-leads the Consumer Experience Design Practice (CXd) at IDEO the design and innovation consultancy. Before IDEO he worked at Unilever and before Unilever he lectured at The University of Southampton.

    Tickets are €4 on the door or in advance http://ixdadublin.ning.com/events/innovation-interface-1
