iPhone Visio Wireframe Mockup Tool Background: I have
been involved as a User Experience professional for most of my career. Most projects call for a similar pattern of
ideation that goes something like this: -
Figure out what the app is going to be (Ideation) -
Figure out what the Interaction Model should
be (IA Diagram) -
Begin fast wireframe mockups (Low-fi - Visio) -
Begin glossy mockups
(Photoshop/Illustrator/Fireworks) -
Code So when I
begin a project, and after I have nailed the application definition, I will
quickly move to a low-fidelity wireframe mode. Microsoft Visio ™ is the supreme tool for
this. (full disclosure: I worked for Visio before Microsoft
acquired us, back in the glory days!).
Cranking out lots of iteration in wireframe saves a ton of time over
doing it in a high-fidelity tool. Therefore,
on this page is a wireframe tool that I built to give to the world to help
others quickly mockup wireframes for their iPhone apps. I am currently working on a social
networking app that will have an iPhone interface and while I build the tools
for that app, I wanted to give back to the world*. I will be updating it over time, so if you
are interested, please drop me a line from the link on the right. Enjoy –
and do great things. Brett * Huge
kudos to the team over at teehan+lax who gave
the world their iPhone Photoshop GUI kit.
This was what prompted me to put a Visio kit out there too. Viva la shapeware. |
