“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ― Douglas Adams (1989, p. 124) So up until the 24th of December I dallied with solutions for the navigation, but I had not really tackled the core issue.

Moving things along
This week’s journal entry is short and sweet as I know what I need to do but I need to crack on and actually do it! My goal for this work-weekend is to try and get all of my bits together in order to present a semblance of a whole.

Building the grid
After starting my initial experiments/prototypes for the portfolio project from a boilerplate I decided that I wanted to build my own responsive CSS grid from scratch. The grid turned out fairly well although there are some very slight issues with the column alignment which I need to sort out.

Wireframes 2+
This post displays iterations of wireframe 2. In this wireframe, I took ideas from wireframes 0 and 1, but removed the next buttons in favour of a timeline at the top of the page.

Wireframes: Are friends electric
The title of this blog post is a nod in the direction of Mr. Gary Numan. It felt like the right time to get some simple mock-ups ready in Adobe Fireworks; thus we became electric and moved away from paper, but only temporarily as this will speedup some of the low-fi paper prototypes that I plan later on.
