This is the new Design Process: Skipping Wireframes and Photoshop comps! Well, sort of.. This video shows all the different design steps needed to create the Shitty Day site, from start to finish. As you can see, I tried to implement some principles I picked up some day:
- Getting Real: Create a working prototype first, worry about Design later.
- Design from the inside-out (can’t remember the link): Concentrate first on the content (Tweets), then the things around it.
- KISS: Keep it simple..
So, where are all the wireframes and Photoshop comps? They got skipped..!! no wait.. actually you could say that the wireframe (basic layout at the beginning) and the Photoshop comp got created straight in HTML. And once it was all done.. Boom.. the whole project was done!
It all seems pretty easy, but I think this process works only for smaller simple apps, micro sites, promotions and so.. For bigger and more complex projects, the traditional approach might still be better.

From a whole series of videos for a new line of bean-themed characters. I think they are genius. Good example of Japanese humour too - derived from contrasting the cute with the strange / dry.
Feeling lucky?
