[Sigia-l] The fuzzy line btwn IA and Design

That's a good example. It never happened to me personally. Maybe it's just 
that I never presented them side by side - I'd always discuss wireframes, 
and at some other meeting we'd be talking about visual designs. (Not on 
purpose, that's just how it happened)

Have other people had this problem of clients confusing wireframes (that 
are kept "un-visual-design-like") with visual design and questioning the 
relationship between both? Was it when you were presenting both?
