D2L Discussion Topics (week 7)

This week discussion focussed on wireframing

  • Figma appeared to be the most popular: simplest to use; supported collaboration; may have too much overhead (compared to hand-drawing) for some uses
  • Hand-drawing
    • Advantages: easy to learn, efficient, iterative, no constraints
    • Disadvantes: not good for online
  • Known tools but less used: Sketch, Adobe XD, Balsamiq
    • XD appeals to those with familiarity to Adobe products
    • Less use makes tools even less likely to use
  • Combination: individuals hand-draw ideas; group uses Figma

I closed the Google doc for edits, but you can still comment!
