Submission guidelines

Submission guidelines for "What is Information Architecture?"

The field of information architecture thrives on diverse viewpoints and real-world experiences. We invite you to share your perspective on what IA means, how it works, and where it's heading.

What we're looking for

Definitions and explanations - How do you define IA? What metaphors or examples help you explain it to others?

Practice stories - Case studies from your work, challenges you've solved, or lessons learned from projects that didn't go as planned.

Visual perspectives - Diagrams, sketches, or other visual ways of explaining IA concepts.

Theoretical insights - How you apply specific methodologies, connections you see with other fields, or emerging approaches you're developing.

Technology and trends - How IA principles apply to new technologies, cross-platform challenges, or predictions about the field's future.

Learning and growth - Resources that shaped your understanding, advice for newcomers, or reflections on how the field has evolved.

  • Video submissions (5-15 minutes recommended)

  • Document uploads (presentations, PDFs, case studies)
