As Yasu pointed out in week one, Interaction Design and Interface Design are often interrelated. Successful Interface Design can lead the Interaction Design process into a more seamless and carefully crafted end design result. Interface Design however can also be a complex field of study that also encompasses Experience Design, Interaction Design, Information Architecture, User-Centered Design, Persuasion Design and of coarse Graphic User Interface Design or GUI’s. I think half of the process of knowing about Interaction and Interface Design is being aware of the other design fields that directly relate to it and understanding their importance throughout the process, even if they all haven’t been completely thought through and developed.
The first thing many people think of when considering GUI's may be the interfaces of the future portrayed in movies such as Iron Man. So I grabbed this image from this website: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/general/getting-started-with-interface-design/ also giving a neat introduction to the processes of Interface Design including those previously mentioned.
