Information Architecture Revised

Based off my prototype work and advise from instructors I have revised my information architecture to more accurately reflect how my application is organized. Technically, I don’t need to include the sorting/filtering options because they are not screens or pages but I feel like they are necessary for me to give an overview of how my application would function. So I have created two separate site maps, one that showcases the interactions and one that is simply the screens seen by the user.

Navigation Sketches

This week we focused on just our navigation and the different ways we could represent it. I sketched a couple ideas in my notebook and then rendered them using Balsamiq Mockups. I feel like I have a much clearer understanding of what my application’s direction is now. Before I began these I updated my information architecture once again, you will find it below.
