I agree, for simple or minimilistic designs then I’d probably jump into a browser after working on paper but for complex designs then I’d want to work in Photoshop first.

For really complex web apps though, I might jump in a browser first just to create a wireframe so that the client can see how the forms click through from one to the next and once they’re happy with that use Photoshop to create the design elements which once approved can easily be applied to the wireframe.

I’ve got to admin I used to do everything in Photoshop first and I agree it has it’s benefits. Then certain people mentioned about designing in the browser and I could never imagine it.

However my Blog has been designed in this way. Well paper first for general element placement/wireframing and then in to the browser. I then know that the layout looks fine with just text.

I guess it all boils down to the customer in the end. I like mininal style as you can see from my dj site. That isn’t always going to be the best way to go for all clients.

Yeah I’ve seen people that work like that but for quite graphic heavy designs or for complex user interfaces then I still find it best to mock them up in Photoshop first

(I’m also looking at putting together a collection of browser elements, input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons etc in Photoshop format so it’s easier to create mockups)

Or you could just design in the browser in the first place?
