Episode 9 The Design Phase
June 1st 2007
We’re moving right along in our five part series on project process. OK, so it’s more of a crawl really. Nevertheless, we’re onto discussing all of the wonderfully exciting elements of the design phase. As if that wasn’t enough of a good thing, the Tweak! site has received a bit of an upgrade. With a fresh new design in place, it’s the perfect way to kick off an episode dedicated to our favorite topic.
Now, design isn’t all about lookin pretty. Below is a quick run down of this episode’s content:
- Establishing project scope
- Sketching & thumbnails
- Wireframes
- Elements of design
