Element Collages by Dan Mall. For me, design should be tactile. I don’t mean that in a skeuomorphic kind of way, so don’t get your tighty-whiteys in a bunch. I mean it should feel real, like something you can own, something you can be proud of. That’s why I’ve often opted to show full comps as early as possible; even if there’s a lot of iterating to do, I want to paint a picture of the final site that I’ll be making for my clients as quickly as I can. Wireframes and moodboards tend to be too abstract. Perhaps it’s just that I’ve never perfected the art of articulating their purpose, but I find it akin to showing someone a blueprint of their dream house and asking them what curtains would fit well in the space.
However, there are some great designers that I respect tremendously that have had great success with a more abstract form of visual design, so I figured this project would be a great opportunity to try a more effective way to talk about what we would be making together.
