Should I go to grad school?

I just got accepted to the Interactive Design program at SCAD (http://www.scad.edu/interactive-design-and-game-development/) and I'm having a little trouble deciding whether this is something I should do or not.

I finished my undergrad last year at a prestigious tech school with a degree in Computer Science, but that's not at all what I want to do. I'm currently a designer at a software company and I love my job, but I have no education in the arts at all, which is why I decided to apply in the first place.

tools for content inventory & site mapping

Hi all,
I'm working on a huge corporate redesign, helping analyze several regional extranets and then providing a migration strategy and detailed site architecture for the new unified global site. 


The existing sites use several different content management systems; many of the microsites are completely independent (Flash based, ecommerce, etc), and there are thousands of linked PDFs and other attached documents that we will be surfacing as web content.

Hi Anil:

I am a Wordpress expert and run the Wordpress Westchester Meetup Group. I do a lot of work with Wordpress. Most of my work today is on Wordpress. Please visit my website - http://www.digitalstrategyworks.com for more information on my company and our Wordpress work.

I'm actually developing the IA for a science and technology web site that will be built on BuddyPress. And, I just closed two other clients with Wordpress needs; a resume service and a BuddyPress site for a hyper-local social network.

Question about full 1024 width of SmashingMagazine web site

Anyone have any thoughts on Smashing's expanded 1024 layout for higher res monitors?

Noticed they collapse to 990 at 1024, but go to the full 1024 as you expand out.

Who is making this move now? What's the standard or best practice? Client is looking for inspiration on HuffPo and other newsy sites. Sees the 960 grid, but wants to ascertain what the current thinking is on expanding out to 1024.

Thanks.


Best regards,

design of help files

Hello,

I am looking for and thinking about what would a online help file need as interaction to be good help files.

Obviously in an ideal world, a system would not need help files if it is 'well design'. But experience tells even though a system is well designed, there is always people that of want to know more or would like to have more support to use the system.

What would you consider a good interaction for online help files? Do you have examples of good practices?

Thank you!

Claudia
