Information Architecture of Product Design in Singapore

UI design

For most of the inexperienced product managers in the design of the product from the easy to perceive part of the start, such as visual design, interactive design, etc., but a qualified product manager in the design of the product from the most fundamental decision products partially started. If we put all aspects of product design in accordance with the size of the product to determine the role of the arrangement, then descending can be arranged as follows:

Information structure design, process design, functional design, interactive design, visual design

Information structure is the level of information presented by the product, the popular is that a product can be used to do what. For example, we take a simple photo software as an example, so for this software, his information structure is: take photos, store photos, display photos and delete photos; for the display of photos, but also can be divided into display thumbnail row Cloth and view a full picture of a single photo (from the information structure of the software is very simple photographic software, but this does not prevent us to clarify the issue). Information structure design is to determine from the most fundamental problem that can be solved by a product, which part of the logic relationship between what is the best way to express information structure is the brain map, you can use MindManager and other brain map software.

Process design is the process of using a product. It describes a user’s use of the product flow and also defines the relationship between the various parts of the product from a temporal perspective. You can use Visio for process design.

Specifically, functional design is how a user uses a product, which can be seen as a concrete manifestation of the structure and flow of information. Functional design can be excel sheet records.

Interaction design is specifically how to operate this function, we can prototype and text description, you can use our the prototype, with the word for text description. The figure below shows only one function of adjusting the focus (due to hasty prototype, more ugly, there are many nature prototype package online, you can make a better-looking prototype).

Caption: The user can select the focal length by adjusting the focal length module, slide the focal length upward to become smaller, and slide the focal length downward to become larger.

Although the visual design is basically done by the UI designer, the product manager actually involves part of the prototype drawing, for example, the figure above. So the job of a UI designer is to make the product manager’s prototype look better.

The above design is a strict division between the decision and the relationship between the more advanced design, it will have a decisive impact on the design behind; the latter design does not allow to modify the previous design.

In actual operation, the more the design behind, the more likely it is that the product will be modified after the product is online, and the more frequent the modification is. For example, the UI design may often be modified, and even the optional skin user may freely modify the information, while the information structure design is difficult to modify.
