Thanks for the positive feedback, the constructive criticism, and the questions. The map is intended as a tool to help folks (myself included) think about the mix of deliverables they might use in any given project. It's not intended to be comprehensive (or prescriptive) but rather to reflect the diversity of potential documents and artifacts. And, I assume that many projects will only involve a small subset of these.
I lumped pixel-perfect mockups or design comps under the broader category of concept designs, but I recognize that's a (big) stretch. That leads me to a question: what is a good broader category that could include design comps AND their equivalents in domains beyond web/print design (e.g., physical buildings and spaces and products)? I'm not sure I agree that design comps are the equivalent of blueprints for building a house...to me, those are a system map...but, of course, I'm not a real architect, so I could be wrong :-) Peter Morville President, Semantic Studios http://semanticstudios.com/ http://findability.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
