[Program Layout]Antivirus-Threat Detected - Based on Microsoft Security Essentials
by Jon Edlund
I was curious what it would be like to have placeholders instead of specific information in my mockups. I found out that it makes my task of designing much quicker and more effective. The main benefits of doing it this way are as follows:
- Eliminating the need for specific information, which makes the mockup more universal
- Providing a mini database of controls, that can be exported into Excel, and referenced in Word (Paste mini database along with the mockup bmml excluding the database and find and replace where the placeholders are)
- Less data and memory used for template (The initial mockup has shorter names on controls and renders faster)
These are only a few of the benefits, but I am certain that you can find others.
P.S. Sorry it isn't setup for symbols yet, but I hope you like it nonetheless.
