Journal of Information Architecture
“ Information architects are inveterate systems thinkers. In the Web’s early days, we were the folks who focused less on pages than on the relationships between pages. Today, we continue to design organization, navigation, and search systems as integral parts of the whole."Start with needs; Do less; Design with data; Do the hard work to make it simple; Iterate; Then iterate again; Build for inclusion; Understand context; Build digital services, not websites; Be consistent, not uniform; Make things open: it makes things better." "Information surfacing is to interaction designers what information hierarchy is to graphic designers. (...) Conceptual models are nothing new, but often become unintentionally obfuscated during the design processes. The design team, often dazed and confused, struggles to figure out why the product is now cluttered and unintuitive. A design thinking method I call 'information surfacing' helps to remedy this problem. Information surfacing involves the prioritization of UI elements with an intent to manipulate user engagement."
