Information Architecture.

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the principles of organizing and structuring information for digital environments, with a focus on user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. Students will explore how content strategy, taxonomy development, and navigation systems can enhance usability and accessibility across websites, apps, and digital platforms. The course includes foundational UX/UI concepts, such as user flow, wireframing, and interface prototyping, which will guide the design of intuitive information systems. Hands-on projects, case studies, and user testing will provide practical experience in creating effective, user-centered information architectures. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to design clear and logical frameworks for delivering complex information, with a focus on optimizing the user experience. Prerequisite: ARTS 091 or instructor's permission.
