Design Interact was created to be the premiere source of information and inspiration for the field of interactive media. Directed toward information architects, designers and programmers, a combination of news and feature articles explore the creativity and technology necessary for the completion of successful interactive media projects. It provides comprehensive coverage of the people, process and tools in interactive media and strives to be the single most important source of information and inspiration on the Web.
