thats not a mockup thats a wireframe
web designers absolutely should use photoshop, because they are essentially providing the "theme" around the wireframe, that may be designed by the UI designer.
- alextgordon 16y agoIt depends on the specific design. If it's wordy and document-like (eg: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/) then it may be better to bypass Photoshop and start writing the HTML/CSS, since Photoshop is ill-suited for mocking up those kinds of designs. On the other hand, if it's more graphical (eg: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop) then I'd agree that Photoshop is absolutely necessary.
- wdewind 16y agoDon't you mean GIMP? ;) And no, I still disagree slightly. It's not about the kind of design the final product is, it's about what function your role is fulfilling. Are you designing the way the people interact with the application, the way the application looks and feels, or both?
