The authors of “No Plastic Sleeves” warn, “Determining how
to name sections of your website and subsequent navigation will tell your
target audience a lot about you right upfront” (171). I used an information
architecture to plan out the navigation of my site. I knew I did not want a
“portfolio” tab in my nav bar. In my opinion, my whole site is my portfolio. I
also knew I wanted to categorize my work into digital design, game design and
fine art. Then, I wanted to use a secondary nav bar to categorize further. I
chose to allow the viewer to choose one of the three main categories from the
home page and then include a hover drop down menu on all of the interior pages
for the secondary nav. Choosing to organize my site like this shows viewers the
diversity of my work.
