I use sketches to get my ideas written down. Once I feel good about the sketches I start working with a program on the computer. I find it easier to explore ideas if I am not staring at a blank monitor.

Thanks for sharing your expertise everyone! I'm wondering how many, if any of you use pencil/pen and paper to work out wireframes? I've used several different methods and prefer sketching when I am able to do it, because it's quick and works well for me. We've also found that with clients, the openness and loose nature of pencil sketches helps clients feel the process is still flexible and sketches seem to help them focus on structure rather than getting hung up on position only text, typos and so on. Does anyone else use sketches in their workflow, either for internal use or sharing with clients? I'm curious. Here's a post from a while ago on my personal blog about sketching: http://www.rohdesign.com/weblog/archives/001852.html P.S. I also like Fireworks for wireframes and mockups, because of my history as a vector guy who loves Illustrator. :-) Thanks again for this list!
