The fine art of wireframes
Categorised under: Information architecture
T. Scott Stromberg has written a beautiful post on the art of wireframes in information architecture. To quote:
One of the greatest advantages of sketching is that it can become a foundational tool which can easily be used to more fully explore your design treatments and architectural studies. The ability to hand-craft wireframes might take some practice, but the benefits gained from their use in client presentations can be priceless. High-fidelity, computer-generated deliverables can be a perfectly adequate way to present your ideas, but there is something liberating about being able to break out a pen and paper and clearly record creative ideas without the use of a computer. Likewise, there is also a special credibility gained with clients when your deliverables are handcrafted and unique—especially when they excite and empower your audience to participate in the creative process.
