Interactive design best practices for the public sector

ABSTRACT

Generally speaking, best practices in the field of interactive design are often derived from private-sector practice or purely aesthetic considerations; the specific concerns of public-sector organizations are infrequently addressed. This poster series (produced by a web development practitioner) focuses on techniques for translating public sector organization objectives and requirements into specific 'real world' interface design practices. The conference presentation format is a visually oriented poster series derived from our past and current interactive design work for the public sector.
