Boxes and Arrows posted an interesting article today by Anders Ramsay and Leah Buley on Prototyping with XHTML. The article delves into the process and benefits of prototyping with a combination of sketching and code—instead of the usual wireframing, comping, coding and so on. As a designer and developer who usually works alone, or with a small team, I’ve found myself doing this a lot in the last year. One of the pitfalls of this method, is that my designs tend to get very locked up and boxy, since I don’t draw as much before I start the process. However, it is nice to actually show your client a working prototype. Sites just look different in the brower, then they do on an Illustrator artboard!
Hello devoted readers! I haven’t posted in awhile, because I have been mulling over the organization/purpose of this blog. You see, right now, this blog is just a mish-mash of personal and web design stuff, and it just didn’t feel right. So, I have separated the mish from the mash, and have created a new blog over at kindrapolis for all of my personal blogging, while this blog will focus on things that are relevant to designers and/or clients.
Stay tuned for further posts, and I hope to see you over at kindrapolis as well!

Here are some Dude Ranch comps for an assignment I’m working on for class. Do you think watching City Slickers counts as research?
Also, many thanks to Lost and Taken for the wooden background. L&T publishes a variety of high quality, free and very cool textures and is an awesome resource for designers.
Typechart is a useful resource for typography. It is an online flipbook for websafe fonts. It’s making me rethink some headings on one of my sites!
