    Nothing

    This is a great project and there is nothing that I can see that could improve the design what-so-ever.

    I do have a question however. Is there a defined process or methodology to setting up a gray-tone framework like that? I've heard it's useful for figuring out the edges and then going in to select from your color palette.

      Well the reasoning for the wireframe is so you can layout your general architecture without having to do all the detail work first.

      This is beneficial because really the content should drive the design, and the architecture should drive the style. So if you start with a framework, then once you have decided you framework is right, you can always try out different styles of design on your framework.

      Good question.

      That is an excellent question and an excellent response. Joel - would you be interested in contributing to CF at some point? I was thinking a tutorial or a little article about something like this. Framework -> focus -> style, etc. I'm putting together some specs for a resources section of the site with articles for various groups of concept creators.
