Fold of the Week: Best of Interactive Designs
Big day today! As you may have read in my previous email, I’m wrapping up 15 years of the show with a special series highlighting fan favorites and my picks for the best of what we’ve seen across 655 shows.
I’m kicking off the series with the Best of Interactive Designs. It’s an exciting category with lots of contenders. It was a tough decision, but I’ve narrowed it down to 5 brilliant ideas:
- We’ll see image tricks, a kaleidoscope, a flipper device, Scanamation, and a crazy feat of paper engineering
- Interaction isn’t just for marketers with deep pockets. We'll hit a spectrum of solutions that range from economy to higher budget.
I hope you enjoy this first episode of the series. I'll see you in two weeks for episode #2! Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
