Revisiting Wireframes — Techniques & Principles for the Whole Team

The 10 Principles of Effective Wireframes
Wireframing should be a part of every digital design project and each team should have a hand in making them. You don’t even need a computer to create great wireframes—a sketch on a white board works just as well if you’re doing it right. And what is doing it right? I’ve identified 10 principles that can help make the daily life of working on digital products a bit easier.
There are lots of teams working together to create products, however only one seems to properly communicate to everyone visually: The design team. We all encounter problems in our everyday life and there are times when we devise solutions to fix those problems, and that is a design. And that, indeed, makes us all designers. In this presentation, I will explore why everyone should wireframe and tips on how to make the wireframing process a collaborative success.
