[Sigia-l] pre-wireframe specs?

[Eric Scheid]

Hi all,

I'm looking for examples of pre-wireframe specs. These would be documents 
that lay out what would go into wireframe designs, but without doing so 
in a visual way (which would be a wireframe).

It might include things like primary purpose of page, required elements, 
secondary elements, global navigation requirements, preferred reading 
flow for the page, items to de-emphasise, branding requirements, 
theme/voice/style of presentation, etc. 

Pretty much a page spec as it would be handed over to the webdesigner in 
the pre-IA days.

What I'm looking for are specifics of the specification, so as to decide 
on a delineation of what gets done by the wireframer, and what gets done 
by the graphic designer. Perhaps that will alleviate some of the "being 
treated like a painter" designer angst (or perhaps not?)

e.
