SUMMARY:Refresh Pittsburgh July Meetup
LOCATION:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Swartz of clicknathan and is one of those freelance web 
 designer-types living and breathing in Pittsburgh, PA. When not indenting <
 p> tags or cursing IE6, he likes long walks through the city with his son a
 nd wife or enjoying summer afternoons at the Harris Grill in Shadyside. Nat
 han will be sharing some of the lesson’s he’s learned from being a full-tim
 e freelancer in “How to Work from Your Underwear: Some Freelancing Tips for
  Web Designers“. 
\n
\nJonathan Brodsky graduated from CMU in 2005 with a d
 egree in design. He spends his days working on web development, & nights as
  a musician and artist. Jon will be showing tools for programmers to improv
 ise live music & visuals using text editors & code as their instruments. Th
 is practice, generally referred to as “livecoding”, is about exposing the a
 udience to the mechanics of a computer based performance. He’ll also give a
  demo of a livecoding tool that he is developing in javascript and openGL. 
 
\n
\nFinally, Geoff Barnes is currently the Senior Information Architect a
 t Elliance, Inc., a Pittsburgh-based e-marketing agency. Geoff has a BFA fr
 om the School of the Art Institute of Chicago & an MFA from the University 
 of Oregon. Geoff came to Pittsburgh in 2001 to help create the Media Arts B
 FA at Robert Morris University, where he served as a full-time faculty memb
 er until 2005.
\n
\nGeoff will present “What Purpose IA?”. What is the purp
 ose of a marketing website? While marketing websites are more application-i
 nclusive than ever, the fundamental marketing task of persuasion is still t
 he purpose nexus of any marketing-driven website. The site’s IA needs to go
  beyond content organization, and embody the persuasive goals driving the p
 roject. The difference between creating systematic order and creating a sys
 tematically ordered, compelling argument is often the difference between a 
 me-too site and a persuasion machine. Learn how to protect your client’s ma
 rketing objectives with purpose-driven discovery and IA.
