I like the internet. You could say we’re friends. Best buds, really. And good friends do nice things for each other. That’s why I like making cool things for the internet.
Here’s the process I follow:
1. Design the framework for an idea
2. Hand that framework to smart creative and development people, watch them make the idea better
3. Work together to turn the idea into a cool thing for the internet
That’s about it.
A big part of my first step is drawing things in browser chrome, and transferring those to Visio for prototyping. I wasn’t really thrilled about the browser chrome options out there, most of which I saw on Swiss-Miss, so I made my own today.
I am going to use these to make cool things for the internet, and I hope you do too. The PDF has three gridlines on it to facilitate drawing things to scale. They’re positioned approximately 960 pixels apart, and the center one is pretty much in the middle of the viewport.

Mike - Sorry, man! The earliest version I can save to is Visio 2002. I think I can give you another format if you need it, though. Lemme know.
