@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 5
There are 51 of them
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 6
I know, right?

@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 7
Where did lenses come from?
CIRCA 2016
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 8
Observation 1: Ambiguous Labels
I can’t tell the difference
between research and
publications.
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 9
Challenge 2: Lack of Context
Nothing tells me what the
World Bank really does.
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 10
Challenge 3: Value of Persistent Navigation
I wish the navigation

helped me understand
where I am.
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 11
After observing, we ask…
Ambiguous labels Lack of context Persistent navigation
I can’t tell the difference
between research and
publications.
Nothing tells me what the
World Bank really does.
I wish the navigation

helped me understand
where I am.
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 12
After observing, we ask…
Ambiguous labels Lack of context
Are there
clearer words?
Can users grok
what’s available?
Persistent navigation
What would actually
help users?
I wish the navigation

helped me understand
where I am.
I can’t tell the difference
between research and
publications.
Nothing tells me what the
World Bank really does.
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 13
What else can we ask?
Are there
clearer words?
Can users grok
what’s available?
What would actually
help users?
How will this be
maintained? Will this
distract users?
Who benefits most
from this structure? Which one of these
items is not like the
others?How can this increase
user confidence?
Does this
tell a story?
How difficult
to build?
What precedent
does this set?
What’s the
shelf-life?
What burden does this
place on the menu?
How do we support
exploration?
And many more…
@ialenses — EightShapes — Dan Brown 14
