Hi everyone - colleagues of mine over at Tangerine-Watson diversity staffing are conducting the advertising industry's first-ever national survey of the attitudes and perceptions of professionals from various backgrounds and ethnicities. We've gotten some great response, and want to invite you to share your feedback for a chance to impact the ad industry (and perhaps win an iPad or career coaching session in the process).

I'm working on a research project and need to identify companies that are similar to or competitors of Razorfish, in particular any companies that might have a presence in Texas, NY, or Florida. This would be companies that hire User Experience Devs/Designers, Web Devs, Project Mgrs, graphic artists, copy writers, HTML coders, etc. Can you name some of these companies, and also indicate which ones are the best or have the best reputation?

Came across an interview with Fred Brooks (of Mythical Man Month fame) on wired this morning.
After reading the interview I'm definitely looking forward to his new book. Any one else intrigued?

"The critical thing about the design process is to identify your scarcest resource. Despite what you may think, that very often is not money. For example, in a NASA moon shot, money is abundant but lightness is scarce; every ounce of weight requires tons of material below. On the design of a beach vacation home, the limitation may be your ocean-front footage. You have to make sure your whole team understands what scarce resource you’re optimizing."
Thoughts?

Is this place still active? I'm a soon to be graduated student who is interested in human computer interaction. I haven't done much design work but I have worked on software and web projects which involve dealing with usability. Does anyone have advice for someone who would like to do work involving interactive design?

Build things that show off your skills, write articles about interaction design, network with other designers and with the type of people you'd like to work with, and never stop hustling. Even if you don't get hired right away, you'll have a sizable portfolio for your efforts, and that definitely can't hurt.

Do you guys have any tips, tricks, or tools you use to model new interactive designs before someone programs them?
I do a lot of specing for our web development, and it's mostly photoshop/fireworks/visio, then putting it into a powerpoint with boxes and arrows describing the dynamic elements. Is this how everyone works?

Design exercise: Create a UI for a word processing app that doesn't use words and is still easy to use.

As it doesn't use written or spoken language at all, it's reliant on cross-cultural semiotics in order to function internationally.
