Information Architecture & Site Map Questions
A second exploratory exercise was for my client and I to anticipate user questions. These user questions would help us to determine how to design the site's layout.
After a couple sessions of posing potential user questions, I was able to associate the questions with a location in the evolving site proposal.
I made an information architecture diagram that corresponded to potential user questions in Adobe Illustrator. I showed this diagram to my client, and we made a few adjustments, before she signed off on the architecture.
This exercise also served as the foundation for our site map.
