Easy Mockups with Balsamiq Mockup application
As most developers know , we are not to good with the implementation of designs for our applications or webpages, and most of the time is very difficult to transfer the idea to the designer and we spend a lot of time trying to explain our idea to be understood, well forget all that, because surfing on the web I found an EXCELENT program called Balsamiq Mockups and just with a few clicks and drags and drop we can put our thoughts into this program and transmit in an easy way to the other peaople about our plans.
Balsamiq Mockups is an Adobe AIR application very easy to use and really in is the application we have all been dreaming about, forget now about being drawing sketches on paper, with this application you can create very proffesional sketchups in just a few minutes , and you have a very large set of options to put on your sketchup , from buttons, images, text, tabs, videos, everythings you can see in every website you can put it in here, and you can resize every single tool using on this application.
I had been reading on others blogs, and the only feature that is missing in this application is the ability to draw vertical an horizontal lines, but leaving that is a very complete software that will save you a lot of time and also will clear all the doubts about your designs, and will be an easy way for designers to understad the idea you have.
You can try the application of Balsamick Mockups on this LINK Balsamik Mockups Website , and you can download the air application to your desktop, this is a demo you can try for free, you have all the options to use, and the only limitant is that doesn’t let you save the document. If you like the application you can buy a licence for only $79 that will be a very good investment, or you can convince your boss to buy a licence , so you can use it at work.
Believe me that a lot of people had dream about this application, and now is here , a very easy , clean and util aplication to sketch ideas as putting our thoughts on paper.
