Week 3 Reading

Summary - Chapter 2 of Information Design Workbook
The finish of this chapter was about creative briefs and imagining user personas. It provided a walkthrough of brainstorming content for creative briefs, which was awesome of course. A good picture was painted for who to assign certain tasks to, good places to start, and recommends that the client be there when conceptualizing all of this content. I have to make a special mention about an infographic on page 59, which showed a quick overview of the path and goals of a user. This totally changed my mind about any other ways i will ever consider conveying similar information. It was just so perfect. One of those first glances, 'i already understand where this is going' sort of thing. 


I stumbled on this while doing a little google searching around user personas, and thought that the huge amount of information it had collected was impressive and worth noting. I've got lots more reading to do, and this site will provide.

First off, the design for this site is totally awesome. The 3d paintbrush is money. Second off, i thought the 2 links below (which i've "borrowed" from his html) were pretty sweet, and i just may use these in the near future.
