Visualizing a Competency Profile

Hello people,

my task is to visualize a "Competency Profile" which will be presented to the users after answerings several questions about experience, personality, wishes etc., on a job bank.

I am no graphic designer and have struggling with this.

I have attached an example of how this COULD look like.

Could anyone please help me by commenting on this one or attach a better design than this one?

 

regards

Ali

IxDA.org will be down for 15-30 minutes at 10AM MNT

Hi Everybody,

This is a notice to let you all know that there will be 15 - 30 minutes of downtime today in order to run some system updates. These updates will hopefully help the threading issues on the discussions, but we're not totally sure.

The site will be down from approximately 10AM MNT (12PM EST) to 10:30AM MNT.

Thanks!

Matt & the IxDA Board

Re: [IxDA] Sharing good and bad examples of interaction design?

Hi Sani

Its good idea,

I wish to express my thought with this, long back i  had idea to create a site where every week we promote a site ( which is most popular & used ) and find what problem people face for a given goals/tasks to achieve. This valuable data can be used their improvement.

Kind Regards
Narayanan

Malicious User Interfaces

Some time back I picked up a PDF on malicious interfaces. I've attached the PDF to this post for reference.
