Due September 7

  • Find a unique well-designed blog (ideally on a topic other than design). In your sketchbook recreate the layout/organization of the blog as a wireframe. Include the underlying grid. Label each module. Calculate the width of each module as a percentage (e.g. 25%, 33.3333%). Label your wireframe with the URL. Remember to do wireframes for each major template (i.e. components of the user flow) at both a small and large screen size.
