Conventions

Conventions are the common or best practices for carrying out tasks. These will change depending on the work that is being carried out.

For example, when designing a website, the convention is to use wireframes to create the layout. Another convention is that navigation (on English-language sites) is typically placed at the top of the page or on the left. When developing a video game, you may use models to plan out the level layout and employ a standard keyboard (WASD) or controller movement scheme.
