John,


I'm up on the soapbox.  We use storyboards much the same as Mary does.  We

also will use them to take our own notes (on the back side) after the client

has finished marking.  We will write down color suggestions, our media list

(sound clips, images, etc.) and any text or text suggestions the client may

have.  In some cases (very formal), we will even have a sign off area for

the client (signed for us to confirm that this is what was discussed and

agreed upon (CYA baby...).


Storyboards are critical for us.  We don't comp every page, just the "Key

Frames" if you will...  Those places where an event takes place, an action

happens or even (if it's a website) the different levels we will be building

(i.e. splash page, index page, second level (content) page, e-commerce,

form).  You can get silly with it but we don't think it's beneficial past a

certain point.  Hope this encourages you to learn more!


My $.02,


Bob Martin
