Friends,

The current issue of the International Journal of
Design was released yesterday.

The International Journal of Design is a
peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to
publishing research papers in all fields of
design, including industrial design, visual
communication design, interface design, animation
and game design, architectural design, urban
design, and other design related fields. It aims
to provide an international forum for the
exchange of ideas and findings from researchers
across different cultures and encourages research
on the impact of cultural factors on design
theory and practice. It also seeks to promote the
transfer of knowledge between professionals in
academia and industry by emphasizing research in
which results are of interest or applicable to
design practices.

The editors are now seeking papers for a special
issue on Cultural Aspects of Interaction Design.
The special issue editors are Prof. Keiichi Sato
of the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute
of Technology and Prof. Kuohsiang Chen of the
Department and Institute of Industrial Design at
National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

The deadline is February 28, 2008.

To read the current issue and to get more
information on proposing articles for the special
issue, please visit the journal web site at:

With warm wishes for 2008.
