I am currently working on an assignment that consists of a topic-oriented primary navigation. Each main topic may have sub-topics, but all topics share the same local navigation.

So:
Main Topic Main Topic Main Topic Nav Item 1 Nav Item 2
Sub-Topic Sub-Topic Sub-Topic

Hello all,

My name is Sung Joo Bae, who is a doctoral student at MIT Sloan School of Management writing the dissertation on the language difference between users and a manufacturer and its implication on the new product development process.

After working several months with Usability Lab…

Hi, all. I’m so excited about these forums.

I’m the IA for our corporate intranet, which is pretty darned big. Currently, though, my role is limited to helping new sites go live. I do absolutely no work after the site is launched, until a few years later when we do the redesign and we start over from scratch.

I’d like…

I’d like to hear if anybody has seen any articles or just simple numbers showing that developing and testing on X number of browsers and platforms seems to take an additional XX% of time in development and testing, etc. I have a client that wants to know how much more effort it will take to develop and test a public-facing product that will need to work …

I had been asked whether Concept Draw is an alternative to Visio – I strongly believe YES.
Concept Draw is a useful diagramm software that enables you to create mockups, sitemaps, sketches of functions, diagram and so on to visualize information and processes cost- and effort effectively. It provid…

In my search results, I will return a variety of documents with different document types, mostly pdf’s and html pages (maybe some word docs). I’d like to allow users to sort the results by document length, but I can’t figure out a common measure that will fairly represent the length of what they are about to read. Byte counts are inflated by…

I’m curious about what people consider best practices for informed consent for user studies. In particular, I’m wondering what practices you use when conducting remote testing or telephone interviews.

Do you consider verbal agreement to be enough? Do you send consent forms and ask for signatures? Does anyone have advice for obtaining ele…

I have been using XHTML/CSS and Visio for rapid prototyping until Axure was recommended to me. What are some tools that are being used out there for rapid prototyping besides Dreamweaver, Visio, Illustrator, and Photoshop?

I’m pulling out my hair.

I was assigned a mercy-kill project, they brought me in literally *after* QA arrived to “tidy up the UI”. Anyway, the application is built in IceFaces, ie AJAX. So there are literally just 2 webpages in the entire application, the login …

I followed the RSS link to your article titled “Meet Your Peers” and my browser locked up tighter than a maximum-security prison at the hint of an escape plan.

Forty-five little Flash video windows? Give us a break! Are we assuming everyone has a T2 connection or better? Mine is fast, b…

Hello,

I’m a newbie in the Interaction Design field – stumbled upon it after getting hired as a sound engineer at a start-up that’s building an interactive voice application for listening to podcasts.

Soon after joining the company I started prototyping different versions of the Audio UI, then there came the flow-charts,…

Am I missing something, or is there somewhere where the forum capabilities are described.

Specifically I was looking for a way to subscribe to email notification or digests of the forum posts. Short of that, a forum RSS feed. Do they exist?

Thanks,

Andrew

Recent comments on extreme user testing suggest people would like shorter articles. Yet in these days of blog posts and twitters, where can you get deeper thoughtful commentary? What do you think? Should B&A shorten up? Or continue a william-shawn-esque long and deep look at UX?

I thought this might be of interest for those dealing with information design.
I’ve posted several issues of icographic magazine from the 1970s that include work by Oth Aicher and Otto Neurath.
You can see it here.
