[Sigia-l] The Poetics of Information Architecture

[Andrew Hinton]

Wow. Impressive. As the thread goes on you can tell these people are mostly
immature, michelob-swilling malcontents with nothing better to do. They're
just getting their kicks annoying people with real jobs.

I personally found Graber's article a little flowery for my taste (and I've
got one of those MFA's in poetry too), but to each his own. Glad somebody's
making the connections between these practices, and glad someone is
acknowledging (and that ComArts is giving air to) the "art" and "heart" of
IA work.

As for our little designer friend, if he can't understand this connection,
he's neither an artist nor a true designer. To contradict many a BFA grad's
assumptions, a degree and smartass attitude do not a designer make.
