uiprint - Printable templates of mockup, wireframes and sketchpads 📝 I just found this in my Google Photos. A long time ago, I released my very first product on Product Hunt. The idea was simple: if you love sketching your ideas on paper and want some well-designed templates to speed up your design process, this was for you. It’s been incredible to see thousands of downloads over the past five years, along with so many copycats 😌. By the way, my version is open source under CC-4, like most of my projects. Now, I’m thinking to create either a physical version of it or digital tool around it. #ui #design #wireframe #sketchpad #notes

Rediscovering the Joy of Sketching ✏️📐 In the age of digital design tools, I recently rediscovered the joy of sketching wireframes by hand. ✍️ There’s something incredibly satisfying about putting pen to paper and seeing ideas come to life in a tangible form. 📝 It brought me back to the basics and reminded me of why I fell in love with design in the first place. ❤️Sketching is a powerful tool for brainstorming and visualizing concepts quickly. 💡 It’s a practice I encourage every designer to revisit from time to time.

Really recommend this excellent long read by Elizabeth Goodspeed on the power and perils of the mockup for a bit of lunchtime reading. What I particularly loved is the way she shines a light on how mockups - mockups ffs - may have become yet another way of gatekeeping in the design industry. Has having the right mockup become just another secret handshake, or are they a helpful way for designers to show they are keeping up with trends, and should I be reskinning my work for the Autumn / Winter season? —— Some other points in the piece which chimed with me … - Mockup’s role in signaling insider knowledge to other creatives. (and boy don’t creatives just love a bit of that - the American Psycho comparison is well made here) - The impact of “mockup culture” on grads and juniors. Yes it can make spec and student work look more professional, but is this now just another hoop we’re asking new designers to jump through to get accepted? - The craft of fictional brands used to help model and sell each knew mock up release. Does this elevate these ‘fake brands’ as legitimate as pieces of design? After all, they are achieving their brief? (I confess I would love a Phaidon coffee table edition full of just these!)
