User interface prototyping is supposed to be a creative discipline, where the tools don’t get in the way, so you can place your ideas on the screen just like you would draw them freehand on the back of a napkin. Up until recently, however, there was not a high quality open source UI prototyper. Those days are in the past, though, thanks to Pencil.

User interface prototyping is supposed to be a creative discipline, where the tools don’t get in the way, so you can place your ideas on the screen just like you would draw them freehand on the back of a napkin. Up until recently, however, there was not a high quality open source UI prototyper, so designers were left with the less-than-optimal workflow of creating mockups in Inkscape or the Gimp, or else forced to use proprietary web applications that limited storage or added watermarks. Those days are in the past, though, thanks to Pencil.
If you simply select “Document” -> “Export Document” from the menu, the default export window pops up. From here, you can simply save the mockup as a series of PNG files, one per page. You can also use this dialog to export to HTML, PDF, OpenOffice’s .ODT, or even Microsoft Word .DOC Full Story |
