While sketching can be done on a blank paper, it’s much better to use a sketch template. For me that is the best and most productive way to work on and improve my ideas before application development begins (and things get more complicated :-)). This way I won’t pay too much attention to some details that should be taken care of later, but stay focused on general layout and functionality.<br /> <br /> Below you will find more than 20 resources that you can use in sketching phase of application development. If you have some additional resources to share, please leave a comment so I can add them to the list.<br /> <br /> And, of course, don’t forget to share your wireframes on I ♥ wireframes :-)</li> </ul><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JustAMemo/~4/QLQonQTMAbQ" height="1" width="1"/>http://del.icio.us/stechico#2010-03-10Links for 2010-02-18 [del.icio.us]http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JustAMemo/~3/8Km2k-lvDaw/stechicoFri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 PSThttp://del.icio.us/stechico#2010-02-18<ul> <li><a href="http://www.pictorymag.com/showcases/one-who-got-away/">The One Who Got Away &ndash; Pictory</a><br/> Think about the people missing from your life, and how you feel about them. What we remember — and what we forget — may reveal more about ourselves than about them. We have photos, letters, souvenirs, and fragments of memory, but our powerful imagination takes over from there: We color in the blanks. And that’s OK. Retouching old loves is a way of understanding what we want. It helps us find our way to new ones. It’s impossible to know whether the experiences below are about infatuation, true love, lust, or something else entirely. But we can be sure that each of these contributors learned about life and themselves in the process.</li> </ul><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JustAMemo/~4/8Km2k-lvDaw" height="1" width="1"/>http://del.icio.us/stechico#2010-02-18 LA Marathon T-Shirt Design Competition http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JustAMemo/~3/i2NH2v9k_sI/ http://justamemo.com/2010/02/16/la-marathon-t-shirt-design-competition/#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:26:23 +0000 sherwin http://justamemo.com/?p=2671 Diggin&#8217; the designs.

Lan­guage
Lan­guage is entwined with typo­graphy. Type can be defined as the dis­play and arrange­ment of lan­guage. As design­ers, we should care about this.

Type­set­ting
Type­set­ting is the pro­cess of tak­ing raw text and mark­ing it up. Mak­ing head­ings, lists, emphas­ised text etc.

Grid
The typo­graphic grid is a found­a­tion upon which lay­outs can be built.

Hier­archy
Con­cep­tu­ally, con­tent has levels of import­ance. Typo­graph­ic­ally, Hier­archy visu­al­ises this.

Font
The font used to dis­play the content.

Rhythm
How the arrange­ment and lay­out of the type aids reading.

Lay­out
Com­bin­ing type with other graphic ele­ments such as pho­to­graphs, illus­tra­tions, video or other UI elements.

Col­our
Col­our, when dis­cussed in typo­graphic terms, can mean two things: red, green, blue etc. or dark or light typo­graphic col­our. Dark typo­graphic col­our is dense type–tight lead­ing or line height, tight whitespace. Light typo­graphic col­our is the opposite.

Con­tent
One of the unfor­tu­nate things on the web is that, gen­er­ally, we’re design­ing not know­ing what the con­tent is. We have an idea of what the con­tent might be, but when deal­ing with con­tent man­age­ment sys­tems and the flow of data, it’s very dif­fi­cult to know. But con­tent is an import­ant part of typo­graphic design and this con­nec­tion is one of the cas­u­al­ties of the web stand­ards man­tra of sep­ar­at­ing con­tent and present­a­tion. When we do that, it’s very dif­fi­cult to tell stor­ies with design.
