X Media Lab presents "Interaction Design: Visual Prototyping"

A one-day Masterclass with 4-time Emmy Award winning Interaction Design pioneer -  Dale Herigstad.

Originally developed exclusively for User Experience designers and producers in-house at the BBC,  this 4-hour survey of the Principles and Practices of Interaction Design (using Apple Keynote) is a unique opportunity to spend a full day learning from one of the world’s leading Interaction Designers.
