the right way to wireframe
In the UX field: no one shows their work! So Todd and Russ are here to show us everything they do when they build a design project.

i can’t have a tablet for $500 (yet).

everything you know about web design is wrong
When you should get design involved? At the beginning along with everything else. You can’t compartmentalize anymore (marketing, business, design, tech; design: interaction, information, visual, info architecture). You can teach in compartments, but you can’t work in compartments. Education has to start out compartmentalized but with a goal to aggregate (inter-disciplinary capstone projects planned from …
