Design Research: Adjustment

The first project in Design Research is Gallery Website. In this project, the assignment is to take the website of a regional gallery or museum and

A.) audit the existing website

B.) design information architecture for a new, refocused website

This week was week 4 of working on part A, and week 2 of working on part B. This post contains a structural model (2nd draft), a conceptual model (1st draft) and an experience model (1st draft). All are for the new version of the website. (I also had some people fill out my revised survey on the existing site structure. I haven’t yet thought of a good way to show those results here though.)

Design Research: Synthesis

The first project in Design Research is Gallery Website. In this project, the assignment is to take the website of a regional gallery or museum and

A.) audit the existing website

B.) design information architecture for a new, refocused website

This week was week 3 of working on part A, and week 1 of working on part B. This post contains my first crack at the part B stuff. Here, I’m creating my own structure for the website in order to make it more intuitive user-friendly.
