This is Information Architecture
Following yesterday’s post where I mentioned the analogy of the flimsy doorknob and in no small part influenced by Horry and Emmel’s seminal Campaign essay “Advertising Found Dead“, I have today launched This is IA.
My intention is to create a stream of photography showing information architecture in the physical world. I decided to run this as a separate blog from smorgasbord-design principally because it’s not just me behind this but a large number of IA evangelists including all the good and nice people at Dare.
As it grows it might just be that our definition of IA changes, that we find more examples of interaction design than information design. The we start to consider experience planning. I’d like to avoid a circular debate about how we define ourselves and so simply using pictures to demonstrate where humans have designed an experience, information or interaction, to assist other humans should provide a persuasive argument for our skills in the online environment.
It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) if you see anything that fits the bill, send it to me and it may well end up here and there.
