That everything presented internally is shiny and polished and looks real. The thinking is that when something looks good, it's easier to feel good about it At Google is was the opposite. On my first day I requested Photoshop, and my manager was worried that I'd be putting too much polish on them too early. I assured her that I "sketch in photoshop". :) I’ve been told that at Apple, sketches like these aren’t allowed outside of the designer’s office.

But yeah, it's all about getting your thoughts and ideas down and organising them. Because quite a bit of thought has already gone in, the above sketch could easily inform an interactive prototype if that was the next step. Good to see some wireframes that look as ‘bad’ as mine.

The less emotional baggage attached to an idea at this stage, the better. I concur. The less emotional baggage attached to an idea at this stage, the better.
