Paper mock-ups for mobile Dogvibes 2.0

Joel Larsson » 16 May 2010 » In hacks, linux, programming »

Yesterday we drank some wine and did some paper mock-ups for the next version of Dogvibes. After the unofficial demonstrations we made during thoughtmade.com we decided to focus on mobile access. Design and usability is not our best trade, but we decided to draw some mock-ups to use for discussion. We hope that this will help us with some ideas and give us some basic user requirements for the client. Here are some of the stuff we came up with, we will release a digital version of the mock-ups pretty soon i hope.

Some conclusions from our night of drawing were

  • Try to print wire frames for iPhone/Android and use them as a base for your designs
  • Untalented artists like us probably could get some help from UI Stencils
  • Use a scissor and move the screens around to get a grip of your navigation
  • Start with pen/paper before you try to create your digital mock-ups
  • Buy good material, check out Posca pens

We also installed some development packages for Android and iPhone. Since I don’t have OS X anymore I will brush of my java skills and write the android app i guess. I guess this means I am allowed to by a new phone?

We are also looking for some good collaborative tool for mind-maps that work for both Mac and Linux, ideas?
