Irmghard on Design:

A surprise email said: isatraverso started following you in Tumbler.

Say What? My first follower! As if I have something good to say, we can only hope.

It's my pleasure Isa to begin the conversation on design. Thank you, friend. As always you're inspiring and motivating.

OK. When I opened my Tumbler I did it with the intention of start talking about design, exclusively. Always wanted to do that and of course, there's never the time. So starting today, I'll do my blah. Tonight I'm working on:

A Content Sitemap

 Which is also a "beginning", it's like a website bar-mitzvah. The idea at this point is fairly cooked and it basically needs to start growing with steady steps and good guidance.

A web content map is a very "annal" player within an information architecture system. It's a detailed flowchart that includes every single piece of a website, link paths, editorial notes and updates frequency, etc, it's crazy.

I do this in Illustrator, and I enjoy more aligning strokes and creating color systems for my info-chart than the actual web of ideas that goes behind it, just because you wish you had the client by your side to actually ask him stuff every other minute, anyway. We got to do what we got to do. 

I should get back to that now. But thanks again for the inspiration, the break and for always being around. Isa, you're awesome.

Big kiss.
