Thanks for your comments guys!

@Elspeth It’s inevitable that things will change when you actually start building the graphics – it’s just that planning properly avoids needless revisions and stress further down the line.

@theComplex Good luck with your design – make sure you share what you’ve done here!

@Cameron Baney I hope it works for you. I’d recommend you read Andy Clarke’s blog over at http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog where he talks a lot about the benefits of designing in browser first

Very interesting article. Ditching Photoshop until the end is something I don’t do at all. I will definitely try it out next time though!

Fantastic tips! I’m currently in the beginning stages of my portfolio site redesign and want to improve the process. I’ll definitely have to treat myself as a client instead of jumping into a design that I’ll hate in a week.

Thanks!

I’d avoid the mindset that says, “I can tweak this later,” when you’re putting your own site together. It leads to the feeling that you’re entering some kind of never-ending Sisyphean project and that can get pretty dispiriting.

I love the notebook image. But no matter what I start out with on paper, I’m always tempted to change it up when it gets to the Photoshop stage.
