Hi Rein, I believe as Interaction Designer you should work closely with your visual designers (and developers, industrial designers, etc). In my opinion this part can never be missing. Some interaction problems can best be solved graphically or can better be combined with a nice piece of visual design. IxD is important, it makes sure that everything works the way it should (sounds easy when I type it :-) ). Anything big until the tiniest of nuances needed so the user has a great experience working with the product - or at least doesn%u2019t get irritated using it.
Truth is that the visual design is often the first thing the user will notice. Any mistakes made on this part aren%u2019t necessarily killing (take myspace), but success will become more difficult and maybe even a guessing game when you ignore the visual designer. IMHO both should always go hand in hand. Best, Erik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
