Many of you know that I write articles for DMXzone.com. And, probably just as many of you know that I’ve fallen into the habit of developing seventeen articles on a given topic, and that these articles are eventually bound into an E-book that’s made available solely through DMX. The Photoshop series was finalized this past week (no clue as to when the book will be available, but I imagine something before the end of January). The next series was approved today - a series on portfolio projects that you can use to illustrate the breadth of your graphic design capabilities. The first article will begin next week, and it’s one of amny modified projects that I developed as an undergraduate visual communications major with a focus on Information Architecture (IA).

If you’re interested in this upcoming series, you might also be interested in IA - or, rather, in its demise. Or, perhaps, you might be curious about the notion that the inherent structure of information simply needs to be renamed or restructured to consider relationships. If you want to learn more about the substance behind IA and its current course, I suggest that you head to Bokardo’s post, “Thoughts on the Impending Death of Information Architecture,” and then follow the links found there and so on. Or, try Scott Weisbrod’s thoughts about, “Information Architecture Is Not Dead… But It Might Be Stuck.”

Have a great weekend. I’m going to wrap my dog around my neck to protect myself against the chill and go shopping, shopping, shopping.
