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.

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.

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

Teehan-Lax

Smashing Magazine

Developer.Android


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


Documentation Templates

Lots of documentation styles will work. Use your favorite one, or...

Little Springs has a mobile-specific documentation style, but it is still project (client) specific as yet. When we get a chance we'll sanitize it, write it up and share it here.


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.
