Deep dives
Wireframing as a Creative Tool
Wireframing is not obsolete but serves as a creative tool that enables designers to unlock a level of creativity otherwise inaccessible when focusing on making prototypes pixel perfect. Wireframes are sketches or schematics of a user interface, serving as blueprints that show the structure and layout without the final design elements. They are particularly useful in the early stages of the design process for exploring and iterating on ideas and clarifying solutions.
