Sketch with Words!

Instead of using Lorem Ipsum, try sketching with words when starting a UX project. Using real words from the start helps everyone on the team understand what's going on in the designs and how the interactions should come to life. When placeholder copy is needed, jot down some words that quickly describe what the copy is all about. This conveys the intent, word count, action, and content type users will see. Sketching with words will create a more holistic experience from the beginning, and surface any surprises or weaknesses in the design, giving more time to fix them. This will result in a smarter design and a happy client. Don't worry about the quality of the sketch copy, as it provides a solid foundation for the UX writer to write from. #SketchWithWords
