The Visual Vocabulary Three Years Later: An Interview with Jesse James Garrett

Posted by TimSlavin at December 12, 2003

"In October 2000, Jesse James Garrett introduced a site architecture documentation standard called the Visual Vocabulary. Since then, it has become widely adopted among information architects and user experience professionals. The Visual Vocabulary is a simple set of shapes for documenting site architectures. In conceiving the vocabulary, Jesse sought to create a system that was “tool-independent“—that is, readily adaptable to any diagramming software as well as any medium (pen and paper, dry-erase, etc.). The vocabulary was also designed to be portable, fitting easily on letter-sized paper for convenient printing." An interview with Jesse James Garrett about an information architecture and usability experience tool he created a few years ago. From Boxes and Arrows.
