Recently, as a team exercise, we sat around around a sketch book to decide where to place helpful tooltips on our interactive marker application. With a little cutting and writing this is what we came up with:
Conventionally, designing a set of tool tips like this might result in a long and boring email thread discussing specifications and showing edited screenshots, or a couple of hours of design activities (using a browser inspector, whose contents could have been lost on accidentally pressing back or refresh).
Instead we did this as a fun visual exercise that we finished in less than an hour with everyone understanding what was needed on the page.
