Any alternatives to the term "Mock up"

[mancombseepgood]

Anyone offer any suggestions - search on the web produced "prototype" but none suitable to describe example screenshots for an application.
Mockup sounds too much like something less desireable...

Artists impression?

 

[Moederloos]

give us the sentence you are constructing. As a quick suggestion, "example screenshots" sounds fine - but the sentence may not appear correct?

"These are example screenshots from our application"
"These are screenshots from our application"
"Our application created the following layouts" - if a creative package

etc

How about client desired which rapidly turns into a pie in the sky once you start realizing what minor technical miracles and new database designs will be required to pull it off .

I learnt my lesson the hard way with showing "live" prototypes ... the customer somehow did not grasp the concept that the screens had no plumbing underneath them and moaned why it took a year to get the application written when we showed it to them at the beginning of the year ... no wonder I.T in general has such a bad repuation in any company.

I had fun watching a client click, double and triple click, then procede to break the mouse button on an underlined sentence in a macromedia presentation... very funny. But seriously, I guess that's it.. mockup or example/sample - thanks Moederloos.

A conceptual representation of the final product.

in other words: "This is what the product would have looked like, if: 1) I was a g o d 2) You were reasonable 3) I had the time to do it that I required, not the time that you specified"

how about "page design prototype", "look 'n feel", "graphic design treatment"... I can go on...


<edit> you can treat these terms like lego... build your own hence: "page design graphic treatment", "prototype look 'n feel", "design prototype" etc..

But ALWAYS add the disclaimer: "Prototype "look 'n feel" designs are for visualization only, final design is likely change due to functional and programming reasons."

You misunderstand. If all marketers thought like this, they wouldn't need lawyers .

lawyers, of course, are not allowed to market.....

I didn't think they had time, what with all the ambulance chasing and bottom-feeding.

How about "Serving Suggestion"?

How about "Serving Suggestion"?

I see that on every representation. Even when the "suggestion" would be impractical to "serve".

I once had a GF that had it tattooed in a certain soft spot, needless to say it's not a term I can easily forget.
