We can think about content and the interface in totally new ways. What’s so cool about the Toca Video Project is that there is no legacy to burden our design choices. We have the chance to rethink the experience of how kids interact with video on what is becoming their first screen: the tablet. (My daughter is a big fan.) The company is branching out now, and they’re establishing a State-side presence focused on creating what they claim will be a new breed of video products for touch devices (There’s a good write-up of their plans at The Guardian today.) I talked to J Milligan from Toca Boca about their opening for a design director for this team: With each installment I’ll pull a select listing from Authentic Jobs and ask the employer to make a case for why that particular job is worthy of special consideration from designers seeking new opportunities.įirst up is Toca Boca, the Swedish “play studio” that has generated an amazing string of App Store hits with their toy-like apps for children. So today I’m introducing a new feature on that I hope will become regular, or at least semi-regular: Job Opening Spotlight. Some of these jobs deserve a bit more exposure, though, as they’re unique and/or genuinely interesting. Usually, I suggest that they list their open position over at the Authentic Jobs board, where I’m a member, and then I tweet out the link a few times and mention it to people I know who might be a good fit. Employers ask me regularly if I know of any great designers they can hire.
