Hey guys,
Can someone point me in the direction of a resource that gives examples/tuts of how to organize information flow, visual design, structure, etc...
(Pertaining to web design)I found this:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmon…Just wondering if there is anything that any of you guys use personally, before actually designing...
I dug through most of the resource thread, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!

Or, you could try
http://www.evolt.orgProlly more than a few handy hints in there.
And last but not least...
http://www.alistapart.com/More code than anything else but plenty'o'tips.
Hope this helps :)

A lot of Info Architecture is plain old organisation and common sense....
I suggest you get
Information Architecture for Designers
by Peter Van Dijck
It is a very good source...

Thanks for the links Hardcore...I'll be diggin' for a while it seems.
Hey jevad...I know what yer sayin, and I must admit, I SUCK at organization, prolly why I started this thread :) I will def, check the book out...thanks.
Any personal tips...my problem is that I have content, I know what I need to know reguarding Flash(which is what I'm using) but for some reason, I don't know the best way to organize/present it...

You mean structurally?

i know it is kind of a broken record...but read up on your tufte...this book is awesome...not focused on web work but more simply the visual interpretation of information...

there is no use knowing flash if you ain't got a clue what to do with it.

Thanks for the input!
I think at this point, it's more about me being my own worst client and not being able to settle on one idea...Oh, I never said I didn't have a clue what to do with Flash James, but thanks for yer pointless interjection, very typical ;)
