When I’m working on a brand new design, I pretty much can’t think without a pencil and paper.  But Peldi might have changed all that for me with Balsamiq.

The verdict?  It’s fahking delicious!!

So here’s a video of my first impression / first time using Balsamiq. I decided to build a mock up of iTunes because I had watched Peldi build a mockup of iTunes three weeks ago, but that memory was hazy, so I thought it would make for a pretty good experiment for Peldi and you, dear reader. (I don’t know why my face is all blacked out, but that prolly for the best.)

Put down that pencil…taste Balsamiq! from editweapon on Vimeo.

Here’s Peldi building a mockup of iTunes. (And now I know what I was missing.)

PS - I recorded this with Silverback, a usability testing tool that I should write a review for. 

Here’s the short version: It’s pretty good. SUPER simple and easy to use. Well done on that front. But it needs to have an to just record the active window and they need to figure out how to make the export video to .move quicker.  This 10 minute video took approx 30 mins at 50% size and "High" quality.  (I’m on MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM and 5400 RPM HD.)

I got this direct message over twitter from Chris Lee :

feel free to tell me to f myself but i think the daily twitter digests dilute your blog rather than enhance it. just my 2 cents

My good buddy Tim Ames (who isn’t on Twitter but is email subscribed to editweapon.com) wrote this:

You know why I love you, BECAUSE you tell it like it is mate !!!   I laugh and love your Twitter !!!!

Me, I can go either way.  I don’t read my blog anyways.  LOL!
