Week 06
What are the advantages and disadvantages or sketching wireframes over wireframe software
Advantages (Sketching)
- Speed & Flexibility: Quick to start and easy to adjust on the fly
- Focus on Big Ideas: Focus on the overall structure, not details
- Encourages Creativity: Freedom to explore ideas without software limitations
Disadvantages (Sketching)
- Lacks Precision: Difficult to show exact sizes and proportions
- Hard to Share or Edit: Paper sketches are not easily shared or revised
- Limited Interactivity: Cannot show dynamic or interactive elements
Advantages (Software)
- Precision & Detail: Offers exact control over elements
- Easy to Edit & Iterate: Quick revisions and updates without starting over
- Interactivity & Prototyping: Allows creation of clickable prototypes
Disadvantages (Software)
- Learning Curve: Takes time to learn the tool's features
- Over-Polishing Early: May focus too much on details in early stages
- Cost: Professional tools often come with a subscription fee
Write a paragraph on which type of wireframing style would work best with your project and why
Personally, I feel that "word processing software" would be best suited for me because I am more comfortable with and already familiar with it compared to other digital wireframe tools. Whenever I use non-digital wireframes, I often get frustrated with my handwriting, and it takes too much time to fix mistakes, which makes everything messy. With other digital software, I feel like I would be too focused on making things neat or visually appealing, even though I’m only in the first stage. "Word processing software" helps me plan, brainstorm, and organize my thoughts more effectively.
