Hi Kim,
I volunteered to help out with Bruce Tognazzini¹s course when the NN Group
was here in Seattle in 2006. I wasn¹t allowed full participation as a
volunteer, but got a lot out of it anyway. Bruce gives a great presentation
and you get to practice quite a few prototyping techniques. It¹ll

My client, an IT company, is very strong on the position that their new website
design should be bigger than 1024px wide (1280px wide). They know that the
majority of their customers are from the IT industry, and therefore, they will
have monitors with high resolution and screen size.

Hi All,
I recall having once downloaded a photoshop file that had mock layouts to
help design web pages within browser safe-zone. Can no longer find this
file. Does anyone have specs or can point me to specs for designing within
safe-zone?
Thanks in advance! :-)
Peace,

I work for an in-house design team that collaborates with third
parties. As designers, we get paired up with internal producers
(assignments rotate), and then outsource to third-party developers.
The producer manages the primary relationship, and the designers
weigh in on key deliverables.

1. I'd want to know if they had the analytics to back up that high
resolution claim.
2. Wide screens don't mean wide browser windows. A lot of times they
mean side-by-side windows.
3. A really well thought out liquid layout might help you find a
common design ground on this.

I'd fight this fight, but think there's plenty to be done with a
design that's technically meeting their requirements, but has
95%+ of the content and functionality inside a more reasonable
boundary. The IT Industry is a wide thing, and even most
developers/designers I know firsthand* use
Use two progress indicators in a sequence: replace the first with the second
indicator, when delay is long.

issues in their designs. In particular, I'm curious about situations
where things like progressive enhancement or graceful degradation come
up. When wireframing how do you handle illustrating these situations.

1st option: Just as Abi mentioned if there a analysis or proof to show that
a high percentage of users have 1280px then its worthwhile to design for the
said resolution.
2nd option: If not then stick to the safe side and use a liquid resolution.
3rd option: The only other option is to provide a

Length really depends on the audience and the application.
Once you've done a few release cycles with your dev team, you learn the
optimal size for your specs as well as the fidelity required for them.
This is particularly true when you are working on a product with existing
features, workflow
