Design Communication

Product design and development is a combination of creativity and analysis. But it depends on communication.

Flairbuilder

Go check out Flairbuilder. It’s awesome. I’m using it now on some prototypes for work, and it makes it really easy to show how the user will interact with the page, and between pages.

Integrating Prototyping Into Your Design Process

Appropriate Fidelity

?Appropriate fidelity? refers to a level of prototype fidelity that allows you to achieve the goals you?ve set for doing a prototype in the first place. By varying the fidelity of your prototype along the dimensions of visual design and functionality, you make your prototype more effective at achieving some goals and less effective for others.

Custom Fields

Ok, so Blogo comes through again. This time in the form of adding custom fields in the editor. Some of these fancy shmancy new WordPress themes use custom fields to achieve greater control over how information is displayed. I was wondering how Blogo would handle it. I guess pretty easily.

Blogo.

I really want to like Blogo. I just have to know it would be better to use than Mars Edit 2 (w/ customized template). I was reading that it was possible to create a custom template in Mars Edit that would basically allow previews that look like they will look on your site. Pretty cool. Blogo, on the other hand, actually does look like your site, because it generates live previews on the fly. As I’m typing this, there is an auto-refreshing preview on my other monitor where Blogo is showing me exactly what will be published on my site. Sweet. Worth $25? I don’t know.
