Digital artifacts from iPads to databases pervade our lives, and the design decisionsthat shape them affect how we think, act, communicate, and understand the world. But the pace ofchange has been so rapid that technical innovation is outstripping design. Interactors are oftenmystified and frustrated by their enticing but confusing new devices; meanwhile, product designteams struggle to articulate shared and enduring design goals. With Inventing the Medium, JanetMurray provides a unified vocabulary and a common methodology for the design of digital objects andenvironments. It will be an essential guide for both students and practitioners in this evolvingfield. Murray explains that innovative interaction designers should think of all objects made withbits--whether games or Web pages, robots or the latest killer apps--as belonging to a single newmedium: the digital medium. Designers can speed the process of useful and lasting innovation byfocusing on the collective cultural task of inventing this new medium. Exploring strategies formaximizing the expressive power of digital artifacts, Murray identifies and examines fourrepresentational affordances of digital environments that provide the core palette for designersacross applications: computational procedures, user participation, navigable space, and encyclopediccapacity. Each chapter includes a set of Design Explorations--creative exercises for students andthought experiments for practitioners--that allow readers to apply the ideas in the chapter toparticular design problems. Inventing the Medium also provides more than 200 illustrations ofspecific design strategies drawn from multiple genres and platforms and a glossary of designconcepts.
