How does your life outside of your job influence the quality of the interactive media work you are involved in? Dan VienW+K Interactive DirectorEverything from the apps I download, the things I read and the music I listen to all affect my work ... Im always looking at different ways musicians are putting their music into the world ... So the more I know, the more I see and the more I have at my fingertips, the more I can dream.GIGI TAYLORMEDIA ETHNOGRAPHERI always say I am a good advertising/marketing professional because I am first a consumer. I am consumer who pays attention to my behavior/attitudes. Plus I observe others around me. For the media in which I dont have direct experience, I simply read. So, insights come from my life as I engage with media through experience, observation and reading. 8. DAVE EWALDUNCORKED STUDIOS CREATIVE DIRECTOREverybody in my life brings new perspective on what it means to design meaningful experiences In general, I think Ive used those around me to gut check assumptions by watching/listening to their stories of using technology. As a company, we always start with people Forcing yourself to see things as they really are is central to all the work Ive done The people and places Ive encountered through photography continue to expand my understanding on how to approach the world For myself, I feel lucky to have an insatiable desire to understand things around me.David Byrne, True StoriesI really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I dont notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is. 9. THANK YOU
