This five minute talk on wireframes is a condensed version of the blog post – the ‘What, when and why of wireframes‘. Hello Group have taken inspiration from the O’Reilly talks which, in turn have taken the idea from a couple of architects based in Tokyo – the Pecha Kucha way of presentation. In short, you have five minutes to tell the story and its an efficient (but pressurised!) method to get a message across. You can see the presentation here with accompanying audio.
Its a great way to do presentations but listen out for the comment right at the end – he was right!

I read a post recently that illustrated how concept models are rarely used in the right way and are often misunderstood. Are they really worth doing at all?
Now seems a good time to expand on the tool that Dan Brown has popularised through his book Communicating Design. Not as simply a stand alone tool but one that can provide a blueprint for giving solid ROI on design, analytics and testing.

I recently presented at a conference on the humble wireframe and thought it would be a good idea to run through some key points. I have also noted that some feel the wireframe is dead, though if anything its more alive now than ever. Pay heed to 37 signal’s take on the subject…
If a wireframe document is destined to stop and never directly become the actual design, don’t bother doing it. If the wireframe starts as a wireframe and then morphs into the actual design, go for it.

The challenge that faces any design project that uses wireframes is that they can easily be snapshots in time and become static. As soon as they are printed or circulated around a stakeholder group they become a moment in the site development’s life cycle. They often can be made redundant due to forces outside of the design project. This can be a potential point of weakness for this valuable deliverable.
