After messing around with blank paper, whiteboards and “paper” prototyping programs like Balsamiq or Microsoft PowerPoint, we finally got down to brass tacks this morning and built the paper framework we’ve been wanting. The grid is patterned after the Blueprint CSS framework’s grid. H1 would be two lines high, regular text would be 1 line. Hopefully this will make the transitioning of sketches to real HTML/HAML simpler and easier, and also help us to “keep it real” in terms of what would fit and/or look good on a page.

Download, print, scribble, enjoy. If you use/like it, holler.
