RE: [IxDA] Pixel perfect wireframes?

I agree with you. We do that too. Coloured wireframes with close to actual font size helps in visualising the page and its much easier to get client approvals :)

Social Media Displays

Ideation stages for mixing social media with display technology, but striving to find something interactive. This is a novice project, but wondering if anyone is aware of social media technologies similar to--and hopefully a bit more interactive--than:

Twitter Fountain (http://www.twitterfountain.com/)

Mojito WiFi (http://mymojito.com.s23767.gridserver.com/popup/complete)

Wiffiti (http://wiffiti.com/)

transition to ipad - no hover - behaviors unclear - ideas?

I was getting into the groove designing web-page interactions where there is a button, and then hover over the button reveals a panel for configuration.
This allowed progressive disclosure, and if the users didn't initially find the panel, it was a-ok.   Hover panels are great for layering.
However, with the i-Pad those nice hovers (which are kinda discoverable) don't exist, instead they turn into a tap.   And then activation of the actual button is a double-tap.
mapping this out

But as far as padding, margins, alignment, colors, weight, gestalt, overall design, typography, etc...those decisions should be made by a designer.

Need UI suggestions for a long-running process that impacts what the user is doing

Folks, I have been asked by a development group for advice on the following situation.

A user does something in a software-architecture design tool (adds component, changes a parameter somewhere, etc.). The design tool has a lot of smarts under the hood, which process all the far-flung implications of what the user just did and this could take a while, say, 30 seconds or even a couple of minutes. The development team thinks they need to give control back to the user and let the user go on working, because it would be really annoying if users had to wait every time they did so

Have you had a look at the Zappos book?http://www.zappos.com/zapposcom-gear-zapposcom-culture-book-2009-edition-n-a

From its blurb: 
"If you've ever wondered why Zappos' employees and vendors are so passionate about our company culture, you'll find all of the answers in the Zappos Culture Book - 2009 Edition.

Brand strategy documents/Design handbooks do they contain behaviours and experiences?

Hi,

I have been working with a few companies now on designing services, and particularly assisting them with the transfer from brand strategy to service experience. All of the companies I know of, have reasonable but traditional brand strategy documents (text and ppt) and traditional design handbooks (text, images, logos, fonts).

Pixel perfect wireframes?

What do you think about creating pixel perfect wireframes? Good or evil? (Or it depends ;-)

The websites our team work on have a standard width, grid, interactive elements and some general guidelines for typography. Therefore any designer working on a wireframe could create it to the pixel (we have a fixed layout).
