I read the ixda mailing list a lot, I can’t nearly read everything, but if you’re interested in interaction design, you should definitely sign up here. One topic that comes up over and over, is the fine blurry undefined line between visual designers, interaction designers, interface designers, user experience designers, and many more related and deliciously intertwined roles in the product design arena. Well, regardless of the boundaries, here is a picture that proves why we must all play nicely in the sand box.

At first glance, this seems like the visual design for a logo, when placed at the top of website it seems like it would definitely do the trick, right? But wait, what if you change the orientation, and have people interact with the logo on the side of a pen, where it’s viewed at a 90 degree clockwise rotation…hum..well..turn your head and see for yourself!

Oh ya, the full article is here.
