Interaction Design/Game Design
by jwesolo2 in design employment

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois with a BFA in ID and I am thinking I want a career in game design/ interaction design. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get involved in that ? What skill sets are really important? What people want to see at an interview/portfolio (all I have is product design work)? Any other advice you can think of…

Built’s new camera cases are chic and affordable. The Soft Shell Camera Case (above left) is perfect for the simple point and shoot but for more involved photographers the Cargo Camera Bags (above right) will hold multiple cameras, lenses and other gear.

The Cargo Camera Bags feature an exterior composed of double-layered neoprene while the bottom incorporates additional padding for extra protection of those valuables. Built also includes padded dividers that you can adjust or remove as needed depending on your gear.

The Soft Shell Camera Case and Large Cargo Camera Bag are available in a range of patterns and colors through Built for $30 and $100, respectively. A Medium Cargo Camera Bag debuts in a few months for $60.

Thank you to EVERYONE (all 1294 of you!) who participated in our FranklinCovey briefcase giveaway. We never expected so many entries! Wow!

Out popped the following number:

#697 — Steven

I have contacted the winner and he will be receiving his prize from FranklinCovey early next week. Congratulations to our winner and thank you to FranklinCovey for their generosity!

As I mentioned yesterday, if you weren’t a winner, be sure to check out the FranklinCovey’s biggest sale of the year that is currently being held. Some items are as much as 70 percent off their regular price. If you need to get your schedule organized, now is a great time to take advantage of their biggest sale of the year.

The ice cream season is happily upon us. Many thanks to Vicki Lam and Christina Yan for their inspired photography which graces the cover of the summer issue of the magazine (out July 2nd!)

Watch for tasty ice cream recipes in the Sweets column written by Tara O’Brady.

And if you are looking for the mercedez-benz of ice cream scoops, look no further than Sherman Kelly‘s classic 1935 design (as pictured below.) Made of aluminum and equipped with its own defrosting system, this scoop is easy to use, non-stick and easy on the eyes. Once you try it, you’ll never go back. Available at the Moma Store.
