Hi there–you are browsing the old Nordkapp website. New one will be out soon!
Thanks for visiting our brand spanking new website. This is a work in progress, an experiment without a version number. Things will change and evolve over time once we figure out what we want to do with this thing. One thing’s for sure—calling this a beta would be just lazy. We don’t wanna be like that, do we? "
Nordkapp was proud to provide its office for the venue for BarCampHelsinkiIV. About 40 people stopped by during the day and there was about 15-20 people present all the time.

Watercolor paintings and oil paintings look no doubt quite different. The artist had a vision about the desired end result and then selected the painting technique that is best suited to reach it. In any form of art or craft, the tool is always visible in the end result. The same applies to interaction design.

(See my earlier posts for introduction to the series.) The most typical process for interaction design is to draw wireframes of screens. After that, a visual designer will start working on the wireframes and designs the visuals. This process and selection of tools will be visible in the end result. Let’s say, if you design […]
Demos are great for many purposes. The most obvious ones are to communicate the design to someone else, and test the UI with end users. However, in a large design project, the less obvious purposes may be the most important ones.
by Panu Korhonen Managing Director
(See my earlier posts for introduction to the series.) A demo or a simulation is the best tool for telling about the ongoing designs for people outside the project. You can try to explain the design intent and use cases with bullet points on paper, but when people see and feel the designs, they will […]
