Maybe you’ve done personas. Maybe you’ve got a stack of requirements. Maybe you’ve got nothing. All you know is that you need to design a set of interactions around a complex information structure- lots of variables, lots of permutations. It can be difficult to know where to begin. Concept models- a means for representing elaborate relationships between information- are ideal starting points for the practicing interaction designer. A concept model can jump-start the design process by highlighting important relationships, identifying key access points for representing in the interface, and giving the design team a common vocabulary for talking about the product’s underlying concepts.
In this session, participants will learn how to develop concept models and the different ways they can feed the design process.
