UI design involves more than wireframes, Photoshop and HTML. Ryan will demonstrate how UI design runs through an entire project from initial concept and modeling to sketches, HTML mockups, and final running code.
Rather than teaching ideas in the abstract, Ryan will share his design process live in real time by building an actual project. Attendees to this session will get a hands-on feeling for how design happens at 37signals.

47. Review
• Start with a basic model (members,
branches, histories, admins...)
• Split the model into index, new, edit
and show screens.

48. For each screen
• Sketch on paper, very roughly.
• Design in HTML from the inside out.
• Style incrementally.
• Use Photoshop to explore when
necessary. Then go back to HTML.
• Implement the HTML as templates in
running code.

49. Priorities
• Avoid throw-away deliverables
• Get to something useful and clickable as
fast as possible
• Designers edit templates directly in the
application source code
