A pragmatic approach to wireframes

And the description of my talk, titled “What the Wireframe?”

In this talk, Jason explores a pragmatic approach to wireframes. Asking and answering the questions: What’s the difference between wireframes and prototypes? Which tools are used to create wireframes? Which medium yields better results, paper or digital? How do you decide whether to create low-fidelity (sketches) or high-fidelity (HTML) wireframes? And how should wireframes be presented to your team or stakeholders?

I’ll probably have some case studies from my work at MyHappyPlanet, and from our new venture, Language International (blog post about this soon). I’ve collected a great deal of wireframe inspiration and resources. I can’t wait to share my findings.

It seems registrations are filling up quick, so get going!
