Comics and Design

UIE Brain Sparks has an interview with Kevin Cheng, co-creator of OK/Cancel. The interview talks about how comics can help you conceptualize your designs:

In the interview, we discuss the use of comics to express user experience ideas early in the brainstorming stage of a project. Comics show the team how a user will experience the design. This lightweight approach helps you iterate quickly without making major time and resource investments. You don’t need to be an artist to effectively employ comics in your UX processes. Kevin also discussed his presentation for the upcoming UI12 conference in November and gave a sneak-peak at what attendees can expect.
