Visual planning
Visual planning is a process that helps us organize and visualize all the work and ideas for a project.
It is a useful tool for working as a team and is done using FigJam.
What is Visual Planning?
The challenge of making websites
There are many factors that need to be considered when creating a website, such as the client’s business and industry, budget, availability of photos, and more.
The challenge is to weigh up the considerations in an efficient and realistic way.
Benefits
Visual planning allows clients, coordinators, managers, and designers to work together and access the same information.
The plan evolves over time
The visual plan starts with some initial ideas and grows as more tasks are completed.
Good solutions take time to develop and consider all ideas, opinions, and angles. It may take weeks or months to go through the process of collecting and understanding the importance of pieces of information.
A meaningful website layout cannot be dictated, but must be slowly developed.
