Visual wireframes also started to break down a belief that information architecture can be considered in isolation to information design. In the wireframes the submit button is on the right of the drop down, but in the designs it’s below. Once wireframes are created using information design as a technique rather than just a visual conceit, they can be used to explain how a site will be experienced by the end user. I have a love hate relationship with wireframes. In the last 10 years they’ve been a part of every web project I’ve worked on.

The right people – the right kind of digital savvy creatives, service designers not graphic designers, technologists and creative technologists
The right processes – broadly based in agile methodologies but this should not be limited to the development or production part of the job. Plenty of people are starting to talk about it though – as a quick search of the SXSWi 2010 Panel Picker Another week, another blog post on the subject of “why creative advertising folk need to embrace ‘technologists and their geeky ways’” once again ignites vigorous debate.

We’ve spent a great deal of effort over the last two years smashing painstakingly integrating Agile thinking into the strategy and design practices, but at the other end – the delivery end of the process – Agile is too often neglected soon after launch.

This shouldn’t be surprising.

Rather than simply showing you the great work that one of our Senior Designers, Julia, has created, I thought it might be useful to show the process behind the project…
The process of breaking down the site, freely annotating and then rearranging and grouping components together is invaluable.

We’ve been working with LOVEFiLM for some time now. They’re a very exciting client whose business model is built around the internet.

We’re very excited that the new LOVEFiLM homepage we designed has been released in beta!
Designing, version 1
Finally it was time to start the real design!
made the ‘Start free trial’ area a wavy shaped to avoid the design looking too blocky
The previous home page had grown organically over the last few years and hadn’t keep up with how the business has developed. Since the last major update LF have launched a new magazine section, cinema listings and video on demand - none of which were highlighted on the home page very well.

We need more process centric methods in enterprise social computing to make way for the acceptance of more opportunistic tools such as social networks. Basically what is happening is the technology, and what and how we want to achieve our aims, has become a tool designed for human behaviour. The above paper is related to another article, Beyond predictable workflows: Enhancing productivity in artful business processes , A little while ago I talked about not so much groupware, but a middle space, moreso activityware, where you create an object and invite people to add to it.

Lesson painfully learned: you can *only* do this stuff successfully by involving technical people fully in the creative process. We created the Telegraph blogs platform in 5 days from scratch - note: we didn’t use WordPress (wish we had btw but this was a couple of years ago) we designed and coded it in .NET don’t think I’d like to work quite that fast again but it shows what you can do with a tiny team of specialists following a process they This post has been brewing inside of me for some time.
