Internalising process: On skipping phases (and wireframes)

Description

A chat with Leisa at UX London about the article I wrote for the Pastry Box Project (http://the-pastry-box-project.net/stephen-anderson/2012-april-4/) about internalising our processes and not necessarily having to do a wireframe stage in between sketching and doing visual design. Also about creating deliverables that clients can actually make sense of.

Weeknotes - to omnigraffle or not to omnigraffe?!

by Mr Jason Bootle
A quick run through some of the things I worked on this week, including some angst-ing about freelancing and the never ending juggling of work, and some thinking about my design process and whether going from sketching into Omnigraffle actually adds any value to the process...
Sketchboarding Workshop

by Leisa Reichelt
This is the output of a day of work that I did with a start up client, I call it 'sketchboarding' and use a similar approach to that described by the lovely people at Adaptive Path (ref: http://www.adaptivepath.com/ideas/sketchboards-discover-better-faster-ux...). I use this technique frequently, especially with start ups who often need me to swoop in and help them fix lots of stuff quickly. It has a lot of advantages including that it helps us to keep a fairly broad focus across the whole experience and flow of using their system rather than obsessing over small details in the UI (which tend not to be the problem for most start ups in my experience) and the collaborative approach means that more people in the team understand why we're doing it this way, increasing the overall design IQ of the organisation and helping them make better decisions for themselves in the future. Anyways, if it's not a technique you're familiar with, it's worth checking out - it's really just a combo of low fidelity journey mapping and wireframing so not rocket science, but you can accomplish a lot in a short time and it in my experience, clients really find it to be a valuable way to spend time/money on UX.
Weeknotes 2 - Surfboards and sketching

A quick show-n-tell of the work I did in the 2nd week at my new job. I talk through some user flow sketching and wireframing I did for the design of some new functionality for a reservation management system, and show-off our snazzy travel-themed offices. Date recorded: 12/10/12
