Magazines

  1. Interactions of ACM
    interactions is a magazine intended for professionals interested in the connections between experiences, people and technology. The human-built world can afford a sense of beauty, sublimity, and resonance, and through our advancements in technology can come advances in society. At the center of these advances are interactions —conversations, connections, collaborations, and relationships — within and across multiple disciplines, with and without technology. This magazine includes timely articles, stories, and content related to these interactions.
  2. Interfaces
    is the quarterly magazine for members of the British HCI Group, with features, events, reviews and jobs.
  3. Boxes and Arrows
    Boxes and Arrows is the definitive source for the complex task of bringing architecture and design to the digital landscape. There are various titles and professions associated with this undertaking—information architecture, information design, interaction design, interface design—but when we looked at the work that we were actually doing, we found a “community of practice” with similarities in outlook and approach that far outweighed our differences. Boxes and Arrows is a peer-written journal dedicated to discussing, improving and promoting the work of this community, through the sharing of exemplary technique, innovation and informed opinion.
  4. User Experience
    UX is a magazine by and about usability professionals, featuring significant and unique articles dealing with the broad field of usability and the user experience.
