Illustrator layers

I've successfully used Illustrator to mock up site and application states in a collaborative environment.

The trick is highly organized use of layers.


Collect all element layers of a view in a parent group.
Within the parent, collect states in their own groups, including modal views.


For some things, like simple button changes, it makes sense to have the states together in the same group. The problem becomes finding those states in a complicated UI.

By using standardized and descriptive labels for the groups, anyone coming into the file can quickly assess the states of that view.
