The document provides an overview of an information architecture workshop for the Events.com website redesign project. It includes an agenda for the workshop covering topics like user research, competitive analysis, personas, card sorting, site maps, wireframes and more. A summary of key points includes discussing conducting user surveys and interviews to understand how people learn about and attend events, reviewing competitor websites to identify strengths and weaknesses, and creating personas based on user research to represent different types of event attendees.

[This sketch] has very special significance – it's hanging in the office somewhere with one other page.
Whenever I'm thinking about something, I really like to take out the yellow notepad and get it down.

- 69. Definition: Card Sorting Card Sorting ―There are often better ways to organize data than the traditional ones that first occur to us. Each organization of the same set of data expresses different attributes and messages. It is also important to experiment, reflect, and choose which organization best communicates our messages.‖ – Nathan Shedroff, Experience Strategist
- 70. Definition: Card Sorting Methodology • Grouping and labeling with index cards, post it notes • Two types: – Open – Participants sort cards with no pre-established categories. Useful for new architectures – Closed – Participants sort cards into predetermined, provided groups. Useful for fitting content into existing architectures • Online card sorts – WebSort, OptimalSort, Socratic Goals • Organize content more efficiently • Find names for groups of content based on users‘ perspectives Self Study "Card sorting: a definitive guide" by Donna Spencer and Todd Warfel, Boxes and Arrows, 2004/04/07

- 73. Definition: Card Sorting Class Exercise: Card Sorting Now, as a group: • Take a few minutes to organize your events into categories (group & label them) • Then we‘ll share some categories
- 74. Definition: Card Sorting Card Sorting: Next Steps With the results of a card sort we then can: • Build consensus • Refine terminology • Create a site map • Help define navigation

- 118. Design: Grids Grids ―The true benefit of using a grid is that as you learn how to use a grid, you start to think systemically about the solutions you design. You start to try and see how various details can echo one another, how different regions of the canvas can be reused or used for similar things, how like elements can be grouped together.‖ – Khoi Vinh, former design Director, NYTimes.com

- #60: As part of our analysis of the user research, we mapped the participants onto the behavioral matrix identified. The mapping revealed clusters of people with a similar observed behavior. These clusters helped us to determine key attributes for the personas.
