Information Architecture
To me IA is about mapping the development of a project over its lifespan, and translating the client's business vision into practical interaction models.
Over the years I have come to enjoy the challenges and intricacies of Information Architecture, and have provided specific IA services to clients including BBC Music, IG Index, T-Mobile, Freeserve, The London Review of Books, Teachers TV, UnLtd, and TimeBank.
Whilst all projects involve an element of site planning (you wouldn't drive across the country without a map, would you?), those presented here were particularly complex, and I think, show a good insight into IA methodology.
