Workflow for Client (Major Project 2)

Begin thoughts on ideas for designs

Draw out or sketch thumbnails of designs

Arrange to meet with the client to discuss what they are looking for or expecting

Begin sketches of their ideas/wireframes

Create flow of site and the mind mapping technique using NOVAMIND

With original wireframes, update wireframes with details (in-depth flows)

Create a few prototypes to get feeling of what the site outcome will begin to look like (using Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver

Develop and add in any extra ideas from clients head/your thoughts

Construct final design and the site
