Productive Interaction

Response to Productive Interaction, 

As defined by the author in the reading, 

"Productive interaction is a recasting of the author/designer's position in relation to the

audience. Instead of laying out a linear narrative in an enveloping experience, the

productive interaction designer frames an exploration of a meaning space, making sure the

audience has the affordances to create their own "take"." 

Although this reading created an interesting depiction of the future of interactive design, it also helped highlight existing designs that hold various interactive characteristics. This reading definitely opened up a whole new perspective within design, that seems create an interesting challenge for both current and up and coming designers. Although designers generally take the consumer into account, productive interaction pushes the role of the user to a whole new level. The user becomes just as important as a designer. I find through the concept of productive interaction, the designer has the ability to create a unique design, and then further push the designs originality by putting the consumer in control. The design now has the possibility develop a whole new dimension through the manipulation and creativity of the user. Although I feel this idea of productive interaction within design further pushes the obstacles for the designer, the possible diversity within the end creation could be absolutely incredible. 

The following phrase from the reading concludes the entire concept of productive interaction, and will definitely change my approach within design.

"Designing for drivers instead of passengers."
