Information Design—Week 4, Assignment 2

…continue your proposed information project from the previous weeks, and add the following documents:

• Information Architecture Map
  • Define the structure through mapping diagrams and symbols
  • Label the type of branching used on this map (linear, radial, hierarchy or a mix) in each area it changes. You must use at least two different mapping strategies. In addition please write notation to why you chose this branching style.
• Sketch two possible layouts for the Main Page and two possible layouts for the Inner Wireframe layouts - in paper and pencil or through the computer software of your choice. You need to post your work as a jpeg, gif, Word .doc or PowerPoint file so your classmate can view your work.
• Give two options for the Main Global Interface by sketching in pencil and paper.
• Define the parameters that you will follow to develop an effective User Interface for the User group defined last week.

Continue compiling your information project elements developed weekly into a Power Point presentation.

Information architecture map

The information design for this project utilizes hierarchical branching.

And to fulfill this requirement, here’s a linear approach:

Layout 1

Home page

Inside page

Layout 2

Home page

Inside page

Global interface

This part of the assignment is redundant. See above.
