Balsamiq mockups-interface Prototype Design Software

Recently the system design is the need to design the user interface prototype, recommended by friends using the balsamiq mockups (http://www.downloadwarez.org/) software, simple and convenient to use, the design interface is very hand-painted feeling, I would like to share with you.

Interface

The software interface consists of three parts:

1. ApplicationProgramItems, including menus, quick tools, and toolbar editing,
   • You can select a menu item to perform corresponding operations.
   • You can enter the required control name in the quick add tool input text box to quickly add a control
   • Common Operations such as copy, cut, and paste are included in the toolbar for quick use.
2. Control Selection area. In the control selection area, you can select the desired control.
3. Workspace. In the workspace, you can combine, edit, and design the selected controls to generate a design prototype sketch.

Simple and Convenient

User-friendly, you can easily drag and drop the editing control, modify the control attributes, and the layout alignment provides great help for the cleanliness of the layout.

You can select a control in the control selection area and drag it to the workspace for editing. In the workspace, you can drag the mouse to quickly change the widget size. After the control is selected, its properties appear in a floating window near the control. You can quickly modify the control property values.

You can easily change the control content, such as the text in the label and text input controls. Including the content information in the table, modification is also very simple and convenient.

Complete controls

Balsamiq provides users with complete controls. The system space is divided into the following types:

1. Buttons, key controls. Including buttons, check box, and radio.
2. Containers, a container control. Including browser window, Tab bar, window and other common containers.
3. Layout, including scroll bar and splliter
4. Markup, several common sketches, including arrow and callout
5. Media, multimedia-related controls, including image, map, and vedio player.
6. Text, text-related controls, including link, text input, text field, table, etc.

If the control is still insufficient, you can download more controls from the official website.
