    This document provides an overview for an information design project. Students are asked to analyze an information design artifact of their choosing, such as a website, application, or tool. They should focus their analysis on an aspect of information design that interests them, such as translation, metadata, or search engines. Students will then create a visual explanation of their analysis, which could take the form of a poster. The project aims to have students analyze an information design implementation and communicate their interests in it to their classmates.

    Information Design Project

    OVERVIEW For this project, Im asking you to do something similar to what were doing in this weeks class activity, but by yourself and with a sharper focus on your own interests. I would like you to conduct an analysis of an information design artifact. This can be a system you use at work, an interactive web site, or an information appliance, among other things. In doing so, I would you like you to take the opportunity to delve into an aspect of information design that is of particular interest for you. For example, if youre intrigued by translation, analyze a translation tool. If youre interested in metadata, focus your analysis of a web site on how it uses metadata. If youre interested in search engines, create a visual that clearly explains the workings of a popular one. Social networking? How does the Chumby interact with social networks? This is an information design in two different ways. First, because youll be analyzing an information design implementation, but also second, because youll be creating a visual that will explain that implementation, and your interests in it, to your audience. Your audience is your classmates, who hope to learn something. Some suggested steps: 1. Develop your knowledge about the focus youve selected; in many cases, the selections Ive provided from Rosenfeld and Morville will be a great place to start. Let me know if you get stuck.
    2. Select a site, device, technology, etc. and analyze it. Be thinking about chapter

    SPECIFICS

    12 from R & M and how you might display your analysis visually.
    3. Design and create a visual that explains your analysis. You might think of it as

    a poster (and, did I mention, you each are entitled to a free poster printing, and that theyd look great hanging on the wall of our lab? Just a thought. ) It need not be a poster, however, and indeed that might not be the best for an online course! Think creatively, and Im happy to talk about options. SOME EVALUATION CRITERIA demonstrates attention to audiences needs for content and visuals establishes a clear and justifiable organizational structure adopts an overall format that demonstrates attention to readers needs and follows guidelines for effective visual/verbal relationships maintains mechanical/grammatical correctness
