Everyday Information Architecture

Lizelle G

“Information isn’t neutral; neither are the choices we make about how to present it, structure it, write it, juxtapose it, or classify it. Every design decision makes an impact; it’s just a question of whether we can stand up and own that impact.”

This is a fantastic book that should be required reading for anyone designing, writing, or managing any bit of digital space.

Full disclosure, I used to read the author's feminist blog with deep exegesis on Star Trek episodes, so I'm probably not objective. 

But this is the definitive book meant for all types of audiences on the importance of information architecture. So much of the web proliferates with people who think design is all about making things more pixel perfect and short shrifting all of the component parts of what makes a site and what people visit it for. 

In a world where a lot of people still don't realize information architecture is an *actual thing* and that's been with us for decades, I'm glad we have another book I can recommend for folks to discover, learn, and appreciate one of the component parts of what makes the web work.

It's also hilarious, incisive, and brilliant. Add this one to your shelves, and buy copies for your colleagues.
