My Portfolio Site according to Chapters 5 and 6
The portfolio site is a bit easier to nail down in terms of structure and navigation: basically because the functional and the content requirements are prescribed already.
The conceptual model will be a file system in a cabinet where each big folder will be organized according to different criteria. The nodes will be placed in a hierarchy (although this site will be so small, it will also be almost organic) with the main topics: Goals, Biography, Sample Works. The "Goals" page will have two sibling pages: personal and program goals. The "Biography" page will have, as of now, one sibling (because most of the content will be on the biography page anyway) which will be a "Useful and Favorite Links" page. At a later date, it might also include a second sibling, a photo gallery. The "Sample Works" page will be chronologically organized starting with the 1st jury, 2nd jury, and 3rd jury. Depending on the amount of content, all 3 juries could be on the same page with the links to sample works below each jury and organized chronologically. The navigation will be global, with local options available under the main nodes (a "mouseover" effect that looked like the local options appeared from under the global links would make for clean navigation). Any user error will be minimal because the user feedback will come in the form of a "Contact me" e-mail link. Ensuring clean and concise navigation will address user error.
