It should be noted that this isn't a movie showing "the right way to do wireframes," it's from a talk about how there is no "right way to do wireframes," there's only the appropriate way to do wireframes at the appropriate level of fidelity for your task/project/client.<p>There are several "right way to do wireframes" videos on YouTube from that talk, each illustrating how a different professionals did wireframes for the same project using different processes and techniques.<p>Experimenting with different design techniques, processes and critiquing methods is one of the goals of my ongoing design workshops: <a href="http://vi.to/workshop/" rel="nofollow">http://vi.to/workshop/</a> (if you're in Austin, TX, you should come out!)
OmniGraffle Pro rocks for wireframing - I use it all the time.<p>Be sure to add some web-specific stuff to your Stencil library - I use the ones here, and judging from the labels in the mockups in the video, so does that guy:<p><a href="http://konigi.com/tools/omnigraffle-wireframe-stencils" rel="nofollow">http://konigi.com/tools/omnigraffle-wireframe-stencils</a><p>In addition, learn how to effectively use grouping and layers, especially shared layers - this is functionality that's easily missed if you just open OmniGraffle and start screwing around with it, but it's so useful. Should you have a subscription, lynda.com added a decent OmniGraffle tutorial not so long ago.
While the video makes the wireframing process look like a lot of fun, the resulting UI just looks rather crammed and confusing to me.<p>I'm wondering whether this is a side effect of the tool in the sense that it's easy, fun and rewarding to add more elements (think FarmVille).
I would love to what tool were they using to create the layout after the paper wireframes? It looks like it can make 5X better looking web pages than I can, in half the time.
I really hate to be "that person" but while I enjoyed the video, I really could have done without the vulgarity in the music. My kid was watching.<p>- Yes, I know there's a mute button, but I didn't recognize the song, so I didn't know to mute it until it was too late.<p>- No, I don't shelter my kid from everything, nor do I think I should, but I also don't think a 7yr old needs to be pointlessly exposed to such things in her own home, either.
