“Current practice shows that much discussion is devoted to concepts, theories, methods, and techniques of Experience Design in general and Information Design / Architecture (ID/A) in specific. Unfortunately, these discussions have not been productive enough so far vis-a-vis a deep understanding of ID/A activities and their results. A focus on the documents ID/As deliver and the building blocks (’elements’) they consist of seems necessary. This document contains a set of ID/A deliverables (a.k.a. documents), which have been derived from various internal and external sources. Be aware, that this is a rather premature attempt to provide more consensus within the ID/A community on the structure, content, and presentation of the documents.”

“The goal of this project is to develop methods for designing information architecture of content heavy interfaces… My current goal is to use an understanding of how people make categorization judgment to inform the design of information architecture (IA). I plan to use theories and methods from Cognitive Neuroscience.”

Note: Link is to an MS Word doc! “Two core issues of Information Design: 1) Nearly everything interesting we want to communicate to others is multivariate information — three or more dimensions of data, that must be communicated on a 2D flatland display surfaces (computers, paper, books); 2) Resolution — we need more resolution to communicate more information — rate of information transfer vs. data density.”

“…I recently visited ESPN’s website, which, oddly enough, no longer resides at the simple URL of http://www.espn.com. Yes, technically you can get to the ESPN.com online presence by typing those letters in, but if you watch your browser, you’re really redirected to http://msn.espn.go.com…”

“Video games that transcend Hollywood movies and play roles in education and literature, golf balls with embedded tracking systems, computers that understand spoken language with 100% accuracy. What technological developments can we expect in five or 10 years? What’s cool, but unlikely to arrive that soon? And what are we neglecting? Freelance writer Mathew Schwartz recently interviewed IT watchers Ed Colligan, Michael Dertouzos, Gerry Kaufhold, Jakob Nielsen, Donald Norman, Jef Raskin John Thackara, and Carl Yankowski to get their prognostications.”

“What makes a typeface look the way it does? The design of the letter shapes is a primary factor, but it’s by no means the only one. The spacing of a font has a large impact on how it looks when set, and should be a consideration when choosing and using a typeface.”
