Everything First: Structured UX Thinkingby Jon Fisher
@ergonjon
Everything old is new again…
A (re)emerging trend for structured thinking
• Rush to grab sharpies and ideate. “Lets just make stuff” mentality.
• IMO, a little up front thinking didn’t hurt anyone
• Lean UX, General explosion of UX, Responsive design, changing design workflows…
• Structured content is inherently what the web is!

What is a content model?
• A representation of all the various types of content in your digital product
• It demonstrates the relationships between each of these content types
• It also documents the elements that
make up each content type
• Essentially the structural side of Content
Strategy (whisper it…IA)

Content elements
Structured thinking aids flow:
• Identify all the pieces
• Their relative size and power
• Their role in your greater plan
• Some elements are small but
mighty in relation to enhancing the experience

ModelsDifferent types of models:
• Mental models
• Content models
• Data models
If everywhere you look people are using the
word model then you should probably pay attention. A model is nothing but a structural
entity.
