2 free paper templates for prototyping mobile applications

    Two new useful tools for mobile developers have been posted on the Smashing Magazine website . This is a set of preparations for sketching interfaces of the common types of Outline mobile devices and templates for sizing elements of the touch interface, taking into account the resolution and physical size of real Tapsize devices. Both sets are designed for printing on paper.



    Outline contains 28 PDFs for seven types of mobile devices - Android, BlackBerry, iOS (iPad and iPhone), Meego, Symbian, webOS, Windows Phone 7. There are images of devices in portrait and landscape orientations, life-size and 10 per page. As a bonus - an Adobe Illustrator file with device images.



    Tapsize includes 9 PDFs for various combinations of physical sizes and resolutions:

    • 3.5 inches - 640 × 960 pixels
    • 4.65 inches - 1280 × 720 pixels
    • 5.3 inches - 1280 × 800 pixels
    • 7 inches - 1,024 × 600 pixels
    • 7 inches - 1280 × 800 pixels
    • 7.7 inches - 1280 × 800 pixels
    • 8.9 inches - 1280 × 800 pixels
    • 9.7 inches - 1,024 × 768 and 2,048 × 1,536 pixels
    • 10.1 inches - 1280 × 800 pixels




    Sets created by Pixle specifically for Smashing Magazine. Before printing, make sure that scaling is not enabled in the printer settings, otherwise the templates will not correspond to the sizes of real devices.
