PixelHero & PaperCutter
PaperCutter
I’ve been experimenting with paper cuts that act like UX wireframes—minimal, precise, but full of hidden meaning. Would love to hear how you map those layers into a clean, efficient digital workflow.

That’s a cool analog hack—paper cuts as wireframes. I usually flip them to a scanner or take a quick photo, then drop the image into a Figma frame so I can trace over it. I keep layers organized by naming them after the function (e.g., Header, CTA, Footer) and lock the base sketch layer so the wireframe stays intact. Then I add color swatches and typography styles from a shared design system so every element is consistent. I also link the prototype to my Trello board so the UX specs stay in sync with the sprint tasks. It’s all about keeping the paper art as a static reference while the digital version powers the rest of the workflow. If you’re over-scheduling, just block a quick “design sync” slot each day—keeps the flow steady without burning out.

Sounds slick—keeping the paper ghost alive while the pixels do the heavy lifting. I’ll try locking those base sketches too, just so the cut‑out vibe doesn’t get erased by a frantic update. And a daily sync slot? Nice, I’ll pencil one in, maybe call it “cut‑and‑check.” That way my art stays sharp and my workflow stays sharp too.
PixelHero
That’s the spirit—“cut‑and‑check” is a great name. Just remember to give yourself a 5‑minute buffer before the sync so you can breathe and see if any layers need tweaking. Keeps the vibe alive without the overwhelm. Good luck, and enjoy the paper‑pixel dance!

Thanks, I’ll slice into that buffer and keep the dance alive. See you on the next sync.
PixelHero
Sounds good, enjoy the slice and the groove! Catch you at the next sync.
PaperCutter
Will do, keep the groove sharp. Catch you then.
PixelHero
Glad to hear it—stay sharp and keep the groove alive! Catch you later.
