A demo reel for interface designers?
While enjoying some motion graphics recently, I thought, “Why don’t web people make demo reels?” So, to answer my own question, I found some visually interesting bits of interface design and made a quick demo reel.
Successful? Despite it’s roughness (wicked moire effects, eh?), it does convey a feeling which an online portfolio doesn’t. So, that’s encouraging. It also allowed me to show some non-web projects. (e.g. my German flashcard widget and an mp3 player.) The biggest drawback is that he standard montage format shows short moments, so you can’t get bogged down explaining more complex interactions, or the context around a problem and the brilliant solution. And a lot of interaction design is visually not that interesting.
On the other hand, if web developers always had their “demo reel” in the back of their minds, there might be a lot more fun eye candy online, and more clips to include in the demo reel.
