Learning Outcomes
Depending on the size and type of organisation, information architects or senior web designers apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. They work collaboratively with senior personnel, such as creative directors and other members of a development team, to develop the content, structure and navigation of interactive media products.
Liaison with clients and team members is a key feature of this role, as is prototype testing (wire framing), which is undertaken as part of the design process. Attention to detail is also required to ensure that all aspects of content are effectively addressed.
Overview of Assessment
Evidence of the following is essential:
- clearly documented and user-tested design specifications for the information architecture of an interactive media product
- ability to work effectively as a member of a design team
- high level of attention to detail.
