Site Navigation focused on End-User Need Driven Interaction…
…Over Web Design conventionality. Ideally, items are Scaling from Project Groupings by privileging universally understood categories. This is in rejection of prioritizing design industry-specific categories, like “print,” or “web,” or, “illustration.” Granted, both methods are planned on use in the draft site, but project categorization by media is very specific and is ultimately very low in the information hierarchy I’m using. At present the drafted hierarchy is:
- Current Projects
- Client Name
- Project Initiation Post
- Project Management Schedule Post
- Project Updates
- v0.01
- v0.02 –> (branching updates)
- v0.02a
- v0.02b
- v0.03
- Client Name
- Finished Projects
- Project Title + Client Name
- News / Log
General Work / Life Update Posts
When necessary, weekly posts discussing work, projects and scheduled events will be published.
