I’ve been in UX space for over a decade, 4 years in corporate and the rest consulting. Before that was content management for over a decade on a traditional track. The threads that tie them together are information architecture and visual design.
environment
I wrangled with what to call this for years. Years. It is an extension of what we call accountability in information mechanics. I am rarely a fan of new taxonomy; I would much prefer a concerted effort to regain existing taxonomy that has had its meaning manipulated. In this instance,
environment
If there were a way to elegantly and with robust coherency represent four dimensions in a two dimensional format, this is one of the spots where I would use it. Our entire environment is deeply intertwingled. Each of these quadrants are affected by countless systems, and each of those systems
abstractions
information literacy
Emotions are their own complexity. They are part autonomic response, part biofeedback, part microbiome, and part nervous system. They can react to both more than you're actively paying attention to, and key into a small fraction of the whole current situation. They are the first blushes of reaction.
riffpoints
The answer is NOT to give up and shove non-standard sight into an informational abyss, citing survival of the fittest and financial viability. That’s an asshole move. We are experts, not selfish idiots with a death wish for others.
riffpoints
This has not made it into a development cycle yet. It's been approached and then set aside for budget reasons. Note that there is a significant potential for updates on this particular piece.
riffpoints
At this moment in time, we are currently spending a good chunk of resources on producing light and dark modes for our interfaces.
riffpoints
In all of these, remember first and foremost: we are transferring information. If decisions in the riffpoints architecture at any point disrupt the potential transfer of information, we are failing. Information transfer affects society. Consider an art project if you found something interesting that disrupts information transfer and you can&
riffpoints
When I dare to dream, I build spaghetti-and-marshmallow towers of a browser that would have user settings that can be pre-set to automatically overwrite any site with riffpoint tokens to scale the entire surfing experience to that person’s sight.
logic shifts
Information architecture shifts The key shift is the addition of a complicated (but still relatively simplified) architecture to supplant what is explored as a network.
logic shifts
Each of these expand into a network in use.
logic shifts
Many designs won't need to go deeper than this. Seriously. I've spun out 6, with both light and dark modes, and two of them I didn't have to touch. Another 2 I wanted shifts in contrast. One I added color coding and extra artifacts
