This document contains references and literature related to interface design and meaning production in interfaces. It discusses semiotic and metaphorical approaches to interface design, including the use of metonymy and stylistic references. It also addresses topics like interface criticism, standards, materiality, remediation, genre, hybridity, and representations. The document provides examples and suggests analyzing case studies using Barr's taxonomy of interface metaphors and Bertelsen and Pold's approach to interface criticism.
