Wireframing & Prototyping Tools: Balsamiq & Friends

For last month’s meeting of the NHUPA, a number of people did short presentations and demos of a variety of wireframing and prototyping tools.

I presented Balsamiq, a low-fidelity wireframing tool best used for capturing ideas quickly, keeping people focused on concepts/layout or for teaching new user experience designers about wireframing.

I figured someone might find it helpful to have access to the PowerPoint slides each presenter used. Each set of slides includes a description of the output you’ll get from the tool, the factors that differentiate it from the others and a list of strengths and weaknesses.

Here’s the September maze calendar wallpaper! It’s a back-to-school theme. ^_^ I used a new method for showing the month name. You can look at the glass half full and say, “Bonus! More maze area to keep me busy so I don’t fall asleep in class!”…or you could just be realistic and realize I absent-mindedly forgot to draw it and added it in at the last minute. >.< Seriously, drawing so many of these things really confuses my brain to the point where it feels like I’ve been trapped in a real labyrinth for a year…watch out for minotaurs.
