My interpretation of your question is that you create black and white wireframes and layouts, which creatives than apply visuals to. If this is correct, and having read most of the responses so far, my comment is, ho for goodness sake, OF COURSE. An effective user interaction is a combination of the interaction design (within my understanding of what you mean by it), and the creative/visual design that is then applied to it. If either don't work, then the end result will be worse. Depending on the context, one or the other may be more important. So to say that one, or the other, is what makes or breaks, misses the point. * Nick Gassman - Usability and Standards Manager - http://ba.com * ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
