Literally the best advice I've ever received, and constantly need to remind myself, is to stay lo-fi for as long as possible. This wireframing process reinforces that advice. Awesome video.
you probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
I'm extra excited that all the stuff I did laying out newspapers and magazines was literally the base of wireframing and that I really do have this skill truly already in the toolbox. Awesome!
Thank you so much for creating this video. I was stuck for about a week on how to go about the design process. I love your workflow which is simple and straightforward.
Wireframing tends to be very confusing at first but the paper and pen idea works. Going high fi ruins the ideas immediately. Will definitely apply these ideas
Since I saw your last video (the previous one) I wanted to comment that I'd really like to see a video where you explain the artboards sizes you use (and breakpoints, of course), grids, main containers, typography scale and the correct size/use of buttons. Now that is written I think is too much hahah
It was amazing to see your wireraming process! Sometimes it can feel obvious but it’s not, I loved the advice of forcing yourself to create one more idea, it can give you the feeling that you explored enough before going forward with one idea. Thank you for sharing!
Free-flowing with ideas first before trying to play around and make it happen was a gamechanger that I learnt from you maybe even a few years ago now. I literally have to be in another room to my laptop or have it turned off to do this otherwise I get caught in a "let's try it" or "look for inspiration" vortex! Only recently got an iPad and am LOVING using Concepts. Way quicker than paper haha
Thanks for the wonderful video! I’d love to see a video on how you stay up to date on design trends and maintain an up to date look on the sites you design.
If I have time my design process is quite similar or sometimes I would just show my sketches on paper to the webdevs and if it's clear for everyone we would jump directly to final design. Worst scenario I had was when I had to design a one page website in one afternoon and I jumped directly to design ... It turned out ok and worked well but as a designer I wished we would have more time and more funds on this project
This is SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you, Charli! I'm literally in the wireframe process of my first freelance web design project and it's comforting to know your process (eeek! I got this!) I'm using a pad of paper right now (ugh) and upgrading to an iPad is definitely a top priority for my next project! >_
Thank you so much, Charli, for showing this where it doesn't have to be perfect! I get so intimidated when I see all the 'pretty' stuff. I don't do 'pretty'. You should see my bullet journal! ;)
Hi CharlieMarie, great video. You hit it on the bullseye for, I have abad habit of going straight into prototyping in Figma without even doing a low/high fidelity wireframe let alone even draw my ideas. Its really hard to resist going straight into the prototype for me.
Thank you so much for this video! So short and straight to the point (a rare thing on RU-vid :) ). I was a bit stuck in this lo-fi prototyping phase on a project, but you totally helped me get back on track. Great point about just jotting down as many ideas as you can, and then a couple of more! :D
damn I was looking for some video to help me figure out what is the process and where to start... your method gave me a clarity from where I should begin creating a webpage.. Thanks A Lot...!!
That’s my component library! It’s something you create for yourself (though I’m sure you can find a Community file with a design system template to copy)
Cool one. But that figma part reminded me of how to draw a horse meme :P It'll be great if you can do another tutorial on translating wireframes to figma.
Sure thing! I was worried that would be too boring as it’s literally just drawing rectangles which is pretty easy... 🤔 you’d still find it interesting to see tho?
@@charlimarieTV I see. Quite new to figma, and that might be the reason I found it confusing. Noticed you've done a 101 series on figma already. Will check it out instead 👍
At what point do you pick a good design (after wireframing in Figma I mean) or is it a design group decision in companies and it's not up to you? Sometimes I like multiple ideas and I see both working for the project I work on and can't decide.
i probaby never do enough wireframe, what i do for aps is to try getting as much as possible so i will do nice enough paper versions to already get feedback and then work my way to a higher fidelity asking for feedback at each steps. this means there is a lack of creativity in the flow. right now I design components like a slider or an input box for a form ad then for the ui I force like to make 20 high fidelity versions of what a slider could be like.
All of your videos are amazing but this is a random request for a vlog -can you show us how you dye your hair like that? I love the colors and that aesthetic but I have no idea how to dye my hair (or like non-toxic dye options or anything).
I'll try to remember to dye it in the next vlog! spoiler alert though: I dye it a very bright purple, and then it ends up looking all pastelly like in this video after a couple of weeks as it fades.
Great wireframe preparation and clean figma out output Very helpful tip and direction Do you face and issue engineering explaining flow (did you use lucidhart to present flow chart and complexity of interaction “if”?) Thank you
Charli great stuff! Do you ever use wireframe "kits" for the gray boxes? I know theres a few "kits" out there like platforma that might help me cut down on time creating my own layout sections in figma. Wanted to know your thoughts on those. Thanks!
Hi, I'm barely jumping into this and making sure it's right for me (seems to be in the few hours of research) and I was wondering what were some of the best things to get into for the T shape chart if I'm more into web design and want to be open for logo designs and such. I'm not going for motion graphics or animation I'm thinking of going into either studio work or freelancing and just wanted to know what you think the best steps are to take.
Thanks for this Video. But, Do you have any idea of wireframing anything outside a landing page or a Website? Like a Webapp. If yes, Great. If no, Do you have any video that you can recommend?
Thanks for the great video. Apologies for the dumb question, but what video capture software would someone use to capture the screens in a video like this (with the cool zooms etc)? thank you!
the cool zooms etc were all done by my editor I'm afraid. I just record my screen using QuickTime. But I hear Screenflow (i think thats the name) is a good tool for it too!
Do you show your team only the best or all of the wireframes? Considering one website could have multiple pages, it will be overwhelming to show different ideas for each pages.
I only show them the ones I'm interested in moving forward with! and as I work inhouse I'm usually only designing one page at a time so it's not too bad
Thank you for the video, it's so helpful. I am considering buying the new iPad pro to replace the paper and pencil in the daily design works. If let you rate iPad pro to replace paper and pencil for some sketch and wireframes of design works, how much are you going to rate(10/10)?
@@charlimarieTV Earth is getting greener because of you! New iPad is coming out soon and I will definitely buy one after the Apple Event. Thanks for your time. Your videos are so helpful:D You made my day.
You absolutely do not know how to need to code to be a UX designer. An understand of it is very valuable and I’d recommend that. But coding and UX design are two different jobs.
@@charlimarieTV Oh thank goodness...cause I love the visual but coding gives me a headache. I mean I know basics here and there with HTML and CSS but I rather if someone else can do that job faster than me ya know Thanks for that
@@charlimarieTV wireframe, Just 5 min before I watched your video I just saw a plugin, and no one had commented on your video yet. I felt like I need to comment on something and mentioned that plugin. anyway, its a plugin called "wireframe". you don't have to explain that to me. your contents are super cool , i love watching your videos , with lots of love :)
Question for designers: how do you keep yourself positive and motivated throughout this process? And not constantly thinking "oh that idea is shit, oh that's so basic" and then just losing that creative + innovative spark ?
We don't need to be always "creative" and "innovative", most common (and WORKING) patterns already were invented for last 20 years or so. Basic things is everywhere, just make sure your users is happy. If you want to win Awwwards? That's another question
