Toward A Taxonomy of Interaction Design Techniques for Externalizing in Creative Work

the act of creating and modifying an external representation, plays a crucial role in creative design work. Whether a tool supports externalizing in a designer's desirable manner depends not only on what the tool does but also on its interaction design; how a user interacts with the tool through what representations. As an initial attempt to the development of taxonomy of interaction design techniques for tools that support externalizing, this paper examines seven tools for externalizing to illustrate why and how fine-grained interaction influences the process of externalizing.
