Hack paper design interfaces.

    Despite a bunch of tools for drawing / sketching the application interface, and design in general, in the initial stages, like many, I give preference to paper and pencil.

    And so, when designing the site’s interface, it’s convenient for me to quickly hastily sketch out a browser window with buttons, and in it sketch some elements of the web interface.
    When designing / searching for ideas / discussing, these elements are redrawn five hundred times, new sheets of paper are taken, old ones are crossed out, and almost every time I throw the same browser window.

    And then I thought: is it really impossible to “automate” the routine process? A slightly programmatic approach worked, and I threw another clean browser window on paper, painted it a little and replicated it on a color copier.

    Something like this came out:

    Thus, I got a dozen and a half of ready-made forms for quick sketching of websites. I am satisfied.

    Of course, it is not necessary to draw a browser, for example, you can make blanks of the most frequently used forms and windows.

    And also, you can not draw templates by hand, for example, print browser screenshots, or ready-made application layouts.

    Something the last time I was mainly visited by crazy ideas. But I like). Let's see what comes out of this topic =)
