A wireframe kit for Google Drawings and 5 reasons it beats Omnigraffle and Visio - Morten Just. I’ve been playing around with the newest addition to Google Docs, Google Drawings, and I’m quite liking it. I tried drawing a few diagrams and even a wireframe, and it turns out the basic drawing interactions are just as good – in some cases even better – than what I’m used to in Omnigraffle and Fireworks. 5 reasons Google Drawings beats Viso and Omnigraffle We know the cloud computing arguments, and they certainly apply to wireframes It’s live.

We last examined uncovery, the first, most critical phase of the Minerva Architectural Process (MAP). Let's move on to phase two, wireframing. Wireframing is a simple, nontechnical process. Wireframing saves a lot of time and money. People confuse wireframing with storyboarding. Wireframing puts something in front of decision makers not to excite them visually but to elicit a reaction.

What personas (types of visitors) need to be persuaded? Marketers tend not to appreciate linear processes.
Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. " The Importance of Wireframing — 45royale Inc. — A web design studio in Atlanta, Georgia. March 16, 2009 When 45royale first started, there’s no question we had a few bad habits. You see, way back in the day when we would get a new project, discuss the requirements with our client, maybe sketch out a few quick ideas, and then jump right into full color Photoshop comps. Our reasoning for that approach was that it was unlikely that we would hit a design home run right out of the gate, so we wanted to start the process as soon as possible to allow time for revisions. After a while we came to realize that we were spending way too much time on revisions and the revisions that we were making were far more complex. Wireframing plays an important role in Information Architecture Certain requirements and concepts can seem like great ideas during initial project calls, but things can quickly fall apart when you start laying them out on paper.
