Hmmm I just subscribed to this mailing list so I missed this one but it's a

nice question.

We're going through this right now @ the studio, while trying to create new

interactive web-based concepts you need to know the possibilities of coding,

to get the max out of the available.

We first think about new features and interactive concepts from which we

know they're theoretically possible and then try to create it in a practical

way.

We also first create the design on static paper and then convert it to

digital bytes and pixels :) after we've got the design we start thinking of

what kind of user interaction could we add to it to make it even better than

it is.


So @ my work it's first design, creativity and new ways of user interaction

that will then push the limits of coding :)
