IA Project

Age Wave needed to have information architecture and interaction design developed for their Website.

It was a business-to-business Website.

Great team to work on—project was successfully completed.

The challenge was to develop extensive and fresh concepts under time constraints. The project was a paid work experience for approximately 3-4 months, at the end of completing the IA MAIA program and graduating.

Due to technologies, non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality, not everything can be presented here.

IA Deliverables

I was the information architect and project manager.

I used Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, ImageReady to create digital documents, working online prototypes. I created rollovers in ImageReady and did slicing in ImageReady.

I did rapid prototyping and developed working online models to explore possible IA design solutions, including IA research, flow chart, user interface design, and wire frame mockups (online prototypes). IA deliverables were developed and produced—successfully completed.

The main navigational system was incorporated into their site (bar at the top of the Web page with tabs). Many of my IA concepts were incorporated into their Website.

User-Centered Design

Consistent navigational systems enable end user to better wayfind through Website, including consistent interface design. This provides quick and easy access to end users.
