Kicking Off An Open Source Prototyping Tool – fluidIA.org

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I would like to announce fluidIA.org, a second project of mine with the intention of creating an open source and agile UI prototyping tool. The project is just beginning but anyone who would like to contribute in terms of design ideas, comments, or code is more than welcome. The site is still evolving as I am the only who has been working on this project since March of last year. I assure you however it will evolve. I might post another thing or two about the project here in the future once things start rolling. If you would like to work as a designer (by submitting sketches, wireframes, or other visuals) on this design tool with me, then please email me. I will be handing out accounts allowing to post and upload images. Enjoy. – Jakub.

Opening Post

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

This is the opening of Wireframes Magazine, in which I invite you to take part. The essence behind this experiment is the simple idea that we as information architects, interaction designers, and user experience professionals all create design documentation in one form or another which makes up a large part of our typical work day. We all run into similar problems while trying to convey our thought processes and design ideas visually. This place then aims to be an outlet for those people willing to share their work samples which highlight techniques to the common problems we as design communicators experience. If I challenge the views on design documentation and if new and more effective ideas emerge as a result, then I will be achieving what I set out to do here.

All the best and I hope you enjoy it. Any comments, ideas or criticisms of course are welcome.
