5 Steps for Wireframing and Paper Prototyping Mobile Apps

Paper Prototyping Comes First

 In my experience, there is a vast difference in the form and function of wireframes versus paper prototypes, even though the terms may be used interchangeably. In my mobile design process, the first thing that happens after we figure out who is using the app and how, is paper prototypes -NOT wireframes.

Wireframes Come Second and Must be Shared

 Even if this is an app for your own internal “client”, wireframes serve as another review to make sure the app is working in a way that serves both the user and the business. You could skip the process and move straight from paper prototypes to Photoshop for GUI design. I know it’s tempting, but don’t do it! The instant you begin working in a bubble is the same time you give in to the “Curse of Knowledge”.
