SXSW2009 - Wireframes For The Wicked
- Wireframes beyond the basics, not for the weak at heart. In this panel, three experienced designers will share their tried and true tips for making wireframes really work. We'll talk about how to sketch a wireframe on the fly to demonstrate an idea and how to create a standalone wireframe deliverable; when to show a concept and when to describe nitty-gritty detail; how to make a narrative wireframe and how to make a specification wireframe. And best of all, we'll show you plenty of examples.

- Session room is packed tight
- Panelists are introducing themselves and chattering now...
- Oh no this seems like a beginner session...
- Talking about really basic wireframe 101 description
- Sketch through to conceptual selection. Low fi through to high fi...
- This panel is really basic. I'm going to link in the twitter hashtag to auto live blog this. Might be useful for others.
- #wickedwire - lettered or numbered annotations help lead audience through the talk. also lcan use hybrid lo + hi-fi WFs to focus on areas.by erinlynnyoung via twitter 3/16/2009 8:46:06 PM
- Slidefail at #wickedwire Light grey type on a black background. Not enough contrast. But it shore is pretty. #sxswby smack416 via twitter 3/16/2009 8:46:15 PM
- #wickedwire panel changes tactics on the fly because of immediate twitter feedback, fascinatingby whale via twitter 3/16/2009 8:46:23 PM
- High fidelity wireframes: shares the detail, shows interaction, may cause audience to get bogged down in details #wickedwireby garrettgonzales via twitter 3/16/2009 8:47:17 PM
- You can use combinations of wireframes depending on the needs of the project. #wickedwire #sxswby kittygux via twitter 3/16/2009 8:47:54 PM
- While storyboarding, show how users can get into and out of the flow. #sxsw #wickedwireby davidlink via twitter 3/16/2009 8:48:27 PM
- Storyboards – set of wireframes that tell a story of the flow (ensure to use entrance and exit points) #sxsw #wickedwireby aaronhughling via twitter 3/16/2009 8:49:03 PM
- Storyboards: sequence of screens that shows flow, be sure to show entry and exit, good for ajax heavy sites #wickedwireby garrettgonzales via twitter 3/16/2009 8:50:22 PM
- Question: How DO you deal with edge cases? esp when developers are obsessing about these? annotation? #wickedwire #sxsw @maadonnaby Lena_ via twitter 3/16/2009 8:51:04 PM
- #wickedwire linkage between screens can be made more clear w unique 'identifiers' per state (1.1, 1.0.1, etc. #sxswby erinlynnyoung via twitter 3/16/2009 8:52:12 PM
- Background pages and layers are key for the storyboarding I've done. Any other techniques? #wickedwireby Sirius_B via twitter 3/16/2009 8:52:17 PM
- @bradmccall Every WF I produce for a client includes a preface page that describes a) what a wireframe is and b) what it is not #wickedwireby AdamSchwabe via twitter 3/16/2009 8:53:59 PM
- Specification wireframes have enough detail to be built. These are for developers and testers. #wickedwire #sxswby kittygux via twitter 3/16/2009 8:54:16 PM
- Specification wireframes are very time consuming, but they're very important to the final product. #wickedwire #sxswby kittygux via twitter 3/16/2009 8:54:34 PM
- Sketch style wireframes are either sketched or look sketchy. The hand drawing helps communicate it is a wireframe. #wickedwire #sxswby kittygux via twitter 3/16/2009 8:57:13 PM
- #wickedwire - my favorite tool @balsamiq is being presented http://www.amitelisha.com/?p=96by choref81 via twitter 3/16/2009 8:57:33 PM
- Like the idea of using squiggly, deliberately imperfect lines in wireframes to focus on interactions and functionality. #wickedwireby AdamSchwabe via twitter 3/16/2009 8:58:22 PM
