Top Interactive Design Cities

• ol2o

  I'm trying to put together a list of cities or countries that have great futures in interactive design. I'm planning on moving out of the US for a year for the experience and am looking to get some ideas of places to focus on getting information about.

  I'll start with the obvious: London.
  Good topic, though. I always wondered about this. Brazilians seem to have been winning all the One Show Awards in recent years.

  India.
  All back-end work is being outsourced there, you can be the only interactive design guru.

  • yeah. it's good. I think part of the issue is that my gf wants to be able to teach english also.ol2o
  • Lot's of TSOL schools here and they're usually hiring. If you're looking for a culture change, it won't be that dramatic.Andrew_D

  My Canadian family says Montreal is good, (some big video game company out there) a lot of good motion graphics studios come out of there as well I seen. I have a daughter so its really tempting. I forgot all my french.

  I do have quite a bit of payback for one of these guys if I make it back up there:

  • Westerners have a notoriously hard time adapting to Japan. China must be much harder than that.CyBrain
  • although the prospect is actually really great considering somebody has to make the software for all of the products coming out of there, it might be difficult to actually work there. I'd be taking their job.ol2o
