(p.98) Use ________ to fit lots of information in a small space.

(p.98) A ________ is a good choice when the value is a relative quantity, not a fixed numeric value.

(p.99) Wireframe components are convenient, but the real magic happens when you begin to transform your well-crafted original artwork into rich interactive user ________.
