Donna,

Have you found a way to keep track of the tracings once you have moved on? I've tried to make this work a few times, but I can't figure out how to deal with all the odd-sized tracing paper!

I love it for doing sketches in serial fashion though... there is something really nice about just moving the paper to the right/left and doing the next iteration immediately.

Thank you for sharing!

-Ben

Very good stuff Donna! It's funny as a big chunk of my working life was with paper that since moving to digital I never think (enough) about the interplay between screen and paper and more importantly how to use paper to its maximum benefit. This is one of those ways for sure.

@Ben you might want to consider getting tabloid sized vellum I know they sell it here in NY, this would make storage somewhat more manageable as it can be folded down to a 8.5x11. There's a company, Paper Presentations in Chelsea (online at http://www.paperpresentation.com) that I'm sure will also make it larger if needed as long as it folds down to an 8.5x11 it should work. Hope that helps.

Interesting way of doing things, but I find a digital version of the annotations more useful. I've lately been using Notable for this purpose. It's easy to email all of my clients the wireframes with annotations too:
