Question

When creating a wireframe, a designer usually creates a grid to represent the Rule of Thirds. What should the second step of this design process be?
A. make a list of page elements
B. determine the color palette of the page
C. place shapes on the grid that represent the elements
D. choose a border to run around the outside of the page

Answer 1

C. place shapes on the grid that represent the elements

After establishing the grid (layout framework), the next step in wireframing is to block out page elements with simple shapes to determine visual hierarchy and placement—colors and borders come much later, and detailed inventories can be done before or after blocking.
