Brad Paley @ Monkey Town

Went to an interesting talk by interaction and information designer Brad Paley tonight at Monkey Town. Paley spoke on a number of topics, and showcased a number of his works, notably TextArc and his map of science [pictured below].

Paley is the director of Information Esthetics, teaches interaction design at Columbia, and provides interface design services on WallStreet.

I especially enjoyed Paley's candid open-ness, especially in his explanations of process and exploration. He was really into promoting information and interaction design - and sharing all of his work to help people create and learn.
