Last week we have started to describe different types of the wireframes that are used in design practice. We have started from the simplest one - "Sketch Style Wireframe". Today we want to talk more about the reference zone wireframe type. Bellow you could see the example of the one of such wireframes.
This example is available in our Gallery.

As you can see in this type we only denote positions of the future main elements and mark them by text. Graphical elements are not used. Also take into account that we do not use color or shades for pointing out the importance of the web page parts. Only rectangles and text are used. This type is best one if you need to show just major positions of content blocks.
We advice to use this type of wireframe in case you need:
- show general structure of web pages
- consider the project concept or big ideas
- provide understanding how a few pages work together
If you use such types of wireframe in your work be careful as not all people can good think abstractly. Someone could think, that this is all design that you could do.
A few more examples of reference zone wireframes:
