Describe content and functionality in your annotations

Describe content and functionality in your annotations

So, what exactly should you describe in your annotations? You can separate them into 2 main sections: content and functionality. Developers will mainly look at the functional notes and copywriters at the content. Clients, designers, and other stakeholders will look at both.

Annotations are often shown using numbers. The numbers in the wireframe should have a sharp enough contrast to stand out from the design. You can add colored circles around them and, if you like, use different colors for different types of annotations. These numbers are then listed again on the side or bottom of the wireframe with the text explanation.

Pro Tip: Be smart about what you put in the wireframe and how. The clearer you make the actual wireframe, the less you will have to explain in annotations.
