    Well looka that. I guess this squiggle at least brings to life the sparkle, achtung sign, and pointy angles — some clear innovations in the model(!).

  3. Matt Says:

    Haha I love it!! So accurate!

  4. Jakub Linowski Says:

    I think there is a similar relationship between when we envision use flows in the studio and what actually happens in real life on the end user’s side. http://linowski.ca/thoughts/2008/12/intended-user-flows-vs-real-activity/

  5. Gino Zahnd Says:

    Yes, this model has clearly been taken to the next level.

  6. Jamin Hegeman Says:

    I would argue that the official design process is actually the second illustration. Not what it feels like, but what it is.

  7. Amman Sabet Says:

    I noticed the second still ends facing in the right direction… there is hope!
