Bset Media (
www.bset-media.nl) is the company I work for as an Interaction designer. For 3 a 4 hours a week I create wireframes for a big website called World Trade Portal. With this website people can upload infrastructure projects and share knowledge, skills, trade rest materials and share their project.
I get to read pretty vague description on what the website has to be able to do and create a wireframe based on that. It’s sometimes really hard to come up with very clever solutions that still are simple to use. You can say that the website is a combination of
www.kickstarter.com and
www.linkedin.com so I spend a lot of time investigating how they solved the challenges that I face aswell.
It is interesting to see how the real professional world handles big projects. It is a real interaction between my study and work, because I can use things I learn at my study in my work but also the other way around. I find it really useful to already be familiar with real assignments for real clients and projects that are really going to be used. This project will continue for a few more years, because websites are never finished.
