Page Description Diagrams

“Since I got back from SXSW and our well received Design Eye for The Idea Guy panel I’ve received quite a few e-mails asking about my use of page description diagrams and how they fit into the design process. For those of you who are unfamiliar with page description diagrams you can see an example over at the Design Eye site. They are, in essence, a text-only alternative to wireframes. I first heard of their use in an article by Dan Brown for B&A. If you’re interested in some background, it’d be a good idea to start there.”
