When it comes to design, wireframe and prototype are 2 very important terms. However, even the best design professionals tend to get confused between wireframing and prototyping, and tend to use ‘wireframe’ and ‘prototype’ as if they were the same thing. This is incorrect, because wireframing and prototyping are both two distinct processes, each with its own set of benefits. In this post, I will try to explain the difference between wireframe and prototype. Prototype and Wireframe: Definitions A prototype, as the name suggests, is a medium to high-level representation of the final user interface of the design in question. As […]
The Resurrection of the Essayist
It’s my firm belief that the internet is the single greatest accomplishment in the history of human invention. Its very existence towers over Gutenberg’s movable type, dwarfs the still looming shadow of William Randolph Hearst’s newspaper empire, and is more powerful than the grand sum of energy amassed by Oppenheimer’s Atomic Age. The web provides a cornucopia of entertainment, which puts at our disposal tens of thousands of games, an almost limitless supply of music, and the rolling archives of film and television.

My Favorite WordPress Plugins
One of the best things about WordPress is the easy access to numerous plugins, which extend its use as a CMS. It’s a repetitive cycle—more and more new plugins are developed for WordPress because it’s the most popular CMS, and more and more new users are attracted towards WordPress because it’s easier to extend by means of simple plugins. Of course, the vast number of plugins in the repository are not all alike. Some are amazing, others are tolerable, and some are disappointing. When it comes to plugins, every WordPress user has his or her own preferences. In this post, I’ll talk about some […]
