Just what exactly is an information architect? I did not even know this job existed. “Information architects often work closely with software and Web teams but typically focus on navigation schemes and usability rather than pure design or hard-core coding” (Hoffman, 2006).
So how does one become an information architect? According to Hoffman, their is no direct path. This seems to be like what a consultant does. You cover a variety of topics and let people know what you think. Pursuing this line of work can be challenging. I don’t believe their are set courses to take to be a consultant but the job exists in many fields that people are unaware of.
Is this a job that you and I could do, I am not sure that it is a job that I would want to do. The reason for this is because of the technical aspects and the confusing terminology. As the information architect job is better marketed more people will become aware of the many opportunities that are available to them.
