I've just stared working with the mighty Mike Rohde again on version 2 of the UserScape site. As long time readers know Mike also did the first design of the site as well as the UserScape and HelpSpot logo's. I thought it might be interesting to share some of the design process with you as we go along. The other day Mike sent over his very first sketch which I'm posting below. Mike's technique is great and I love working on designs with him in this fashion. The sketches just make it so easy to focus on layout.

It will be interesting to see how the final version compares with this first sketch. BTW I encourage anyone looking for a designer to drop Mike a note, just don't do it for the next month or so because I have way too much for him to work on and don't want him distracted :-)
