Interactive Design - Definition

Interactive design - simply defined - is the design of a product or system that a user can interact with. Whether it be pushing the button at the traffic lights that will allow you to cross, or using a piece of software to design a poster, both of these rely on the interaction between the user and the product (or system).

We can see that with new Web 2.0 style websites that interactive design plays a huge role in creating these sites. Users are now able to create and 'give' information where as early sites only allow you to 'take' information.
