A wireframe IS NOT the same thing as a prototype A wireframe is a non graphical representation of the site flow, describing what would occur or be seen at that step in the flow
A prototype is a mock up of the application, which in a perfect world, would look exactly like the application The wireframe is not the proper place to have the form input fields and such. -----Original Message----- From: John Jonathan Kopanas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 11:07 AM To: Fusebox List Subject: my issues with wirefram tools I have seen Ok, I have only look through two today but I still want to share my frustrations. WireFrame Viewer/Editor 3.999beta + Adalon 2.2 Both of these tools don't display or ask for form input fields. How can I create or get a sign off for a prototype without this critical information???? Maybe I am just blind or don't see it right but this information seems very critical. Adalon in theory is a very good tool. But it reminds me a typical open source application/project. Selon moi(According to me), this is what goes through an open source developers mind when coming up with an idea for a project "Let's not consider the UI and just steel it from a company we think we can beat and advertise our product as ten times better even though the major issue with all tools is the UI." I wonder if they used prototyping techniques to design there prototyping tool :-). "Eat your own dog food" One of my favorite quotes. I just had to open one to many windows a la Rational Rows. God I hate Rationale. You figure all those great Software Engineers under one roof can come up with something that makes sense. Anyways, I just wanted to rant and rave. There is a lot of creative criticism in there behind all the negativity I promise :-). Anyone have any solutions for me? ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
