- 67. The idea of designing components like this, out of context and without layout, might sound strange— particularly if you’ve been used to designing Web pages the traditional way. But we’ve been abstracting design ideas like this for the longest time, for example in our use of mood boards and even the cropped designs we find on sites like Dribbble. -Andy Clarke http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog/about/an-extract-from-designing-atoms-and-elements
