Mobile Design Elements

Templates & Stencils

These are graphic items you can import to various drawing programs (mostly the Adobe suite) to create designs and mockups. The organization may confuse you a bit. Up top are people (like us!) who give lots of different templates, and generic ones. Then I list them by platform, because way too many people are making a single set of Photoshop tools for the iPad, et. al.

Note that this is just those we've found, or found useful. Many more are likely stuck in the various manufacturer and OS developer links under UI Guidelines below.

Also, we do not use raster tools for wireframing, or even OmniGraffle much. Most of these are not reviewed, just listed. If dumb, or incorrectly categorized, please fix it.

4ourth Mobile

A bunch of mobile components (and some other info, like typography) for general mobile design, as well as gestures, and even iPhone specific stuff for the fanbois. Includes the templates used to make the illustrations and diagrams for this wiki. Last updated 21 October 2010:

If you are still on Freehand (and we salute you) the old (September 2009), not-at-all-updated version is still available. It has Little Springs branding, as that's who Steven worked for when he made it.

Yahoo!

  • Yahoo! Stencil Kit many non-mobile parts, but also useful general and iPhone bits and pieces.

Nokia, Et. Al.

Includes Symbian Foundation, and so forth. Even though some of those are not really 100% Nokia.

Graffletopia

Mobility

  • Mobility A free set of mobile UI design elements. I haven't looked, so it could be lying and only be iOS. Someone move it or tell me if it's not generic. (.psd)

Squetch

  • Wireframe Sketching Kit with tools for Browser, iPad upright, iPad landscape, Smartphone, GUI-Elements and Form-Elements. Not sure what some mean, but I guess "Smartphone" means they are trying to not just be iOS, so they get a category. (Illustrator)

iOS

iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

Android OS

All versions, all platforms, all operator overlays. When someone makes Google TV stencils, they'll probably be here also.


UI Guidelines

Documentation, forums, lists and other methods device and OS makers use to communicate their UI guidelines. These periodically move, so if you see a broken link, please update it.

Templates and stencils, even from these people, will be listed above where known.

Android (from Google and OEMs)

Apple iOS

Microsoft Windows CE, Mobile & Phone

Nokia Family (S40, S60, Symbian, MeeGo)

Palm WebOS

RIM Blackberry

Samsung Bada

Sony Ericsson Featurephones


Drawing Tool, Tips & Tricks

Just a list that we keep for ourselves, so we don't forget things. Feel free to add items, or even categories, if there's a tool you want to share your notes about.
