Wireframe Explorations

Implementing requirements is the key part of an Information Architect's job. The wireframe is one of our most valuable tools.

  • Yearbook wireframe
  • Func spec wireframe
  • Wireframe with callouts
  • Email wireframe
  • iPhone app wireframe

Process Flows

Flows are a critical part of the user experience. They help us understand how something will work before diving into details.

  • 2 user flow
  • Simple flow
  • Facebook app flow
  • iPhone app flow

Combining Tools: Wireframes and Flows

In my experience, flows and wireframes each show separate parts of the overall picture. I have found combining the two very helpful when discussions of the implementation phase begin.

  • Browsing wireframe and flow
  • Narrowing wireframe and flow
  • Interaction wireframe and flow
  • Include backend wireframe and flow
  • Interactions wireframe and flow

User Experience Tools

Creating innovative solutions for how to understand a problem is just part of the job.

  • User experience circle
  • taxonomy

I was fortunate to be chosen to do a talk for Ignite Seattle 13. Below is the title, description, and then the video with me in action!

Infants- The Terrifying Danger of a UX Edge Case

Those of us in the UX world focus on how to satisfy users. However, when we use the term "user experience," we ignore one persona: Age less than 2. They are the ultimate edge case; approximately 3% of the population, but with a grand scheme to take over the planet. Right now, millions of babies are growing up in a world that appears actively user-hostile. Using my own daughter as a test subject, I'll show you how to minimize their rage and lingering resentment and make the world a better place for the people who will be changing our bedpans in fifty years.
