I work on a 13″ Macbook. Having to move quite a lot, I find it much handier than the larger sizes, but from time to time, I get frustrated at being restrained to such limited visual space. In those precise moments, even a professional diagramming tool doesn’t replace a good old writeboard. Problem: There was no writeboard at hand, and I needed to lay down the basic architecture for the underlying data of a new project. Post-its and red tape helped get a clearer vision of how data should be structured, and tackle many issues before running into them.
The result was both satisfying, both from a useful standpoint as from an aesthetic one. No matter which stage you are at web development, there’s always an artistic side to it.
