@Mike huh?

@mike Keep in mind these aren’t created in a vacuum and thrown over to developers. Everyone involved already has some context of what the sketches are about.

@Scott: yes, and keep in mind that this blog post has exactly one line of context. For me it’s just a bunch of squiggly lines.

@Scott: Exactly, without context they don’t communicate much.
The only one standing somewhat on itself is the discarded tabs.
What would be more interesting is showing the progress,
Its Nice…

Was the initial design at least done in photoshop? Meaning not the interface but the look and feel of the platform?

About Jason Fried
Jason co-founded Basecamp back in 1999. He also co-authored REWORK, the New York Times bestselling book on running a "right-sized" business. Co-founded, co-authored... Can he do anything on his own?

Nathanael Boehm
on 20 Mar 12Is that for real i.e. are those the actual sketches or have they been recreated or redacted? Just seem a bit sparse :)
Chris Sedlmayr

on 21 Mar 12Jason, do you move straight to HTML/CSS from here or make a quick stop somewhere else first? (like photoshop or more detailed sketches).
