Comments on: What’s your favorite tool for app prototyping? http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/10/whats-your-favorite-tool-for-app-prototyping.html Sat, 25 May 2013 05:43:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Zev Eisenberg http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/10/whats-your-favorite-tool-for-app-prototyping.html#comment-50158 Zev Eisenberg Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:09:37 +0000 http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/?p=7699#comment-50158 We do layout mockups and interaction workflows in OmniGraffle and comps in Photoshop. Then we slice up the images, put them on an iPad with Dropbox, and build the interactive mockup right on the device with an app called Blueprint: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blueprint/id405203705?mt=8

(Blueprint also has a bunch of standard widgets built in, but we usually end up making custom widgets.)

Automatic/flexible layout system, consistent styles with widgets – it’s easy to create lots and lots of individual screens and still keep everything consistent.

Scanning a sequence of QR codes that are each made so as to contain just one Unicode character so that a telephone number can be built up without needing to press any buttons.

I have recently produced the following two documents.

a_simulation_about_an_idea_that_would_use_qr_codes.pdf

experimental_table_top_for_telephoning_1200_by_800.pdf

The pdf documents are available as attachments in the following forum thread.

Works pretty well.

I also use Fireworks and Indesign (its ebook interactive toolset is awesome for this)

Some reason or another, I have not been able to get touch to work with photoshop

I have all the apps for Ipad, been a hog, I got to have them all, but use little, lol. I guess I am not the artist type….

My best
