My internship experience--1
The most frequently used application in my internship is Microsoft Visio.
I am getting more and more familiar with Visio as I make wireframe in it. Almost all design ideas are demonstrated by Visio. It seems that most people prefer a windows-like wireframe to understand the design idea to sketches and description, which support the recall and recognition theory. They would also like to see the sitemap in order to understand the whole process and workflow. But we try to keep the wireframe as simple as possible in the design aspect. We never color coding anything, because we find out that if we set something into some color, people will start to question if that color is proper and lose focus on the design itself. In addition, the color coding will have impact on the visual designer when they are doing the actual visual design.
Advice: for HCI students, you'd better prepare yourself with Visio before the internship. It's very likely that you will use it in your internship:)
