Ask HN: What is your preference for sketching layouts

[rnl]

What software or process do you use when designing something new e.g. a new site or a procedure your users will be going through while using your software?

I use PowerPoint for creating layouts and pen & paper to visualize the interaction processes.

I've used Balsamiq Mockups in the past and it's been absolutely swell.

Paper and pencil. Don't constrain yourself with tools.
