Mobile Prototyping with Axure 7 (Paperback)

Designing for mobile is different, which is why prototyping is so important. This book takes you through Axure's capabilities in this field with an example-led, hands-on approach that helps you get started quickly.

Overview

• Walk through the steps needed to build mobile interactions in Axure.
• Deploy your prototypes on devices and in user’s hands
• Download Axure RP 7 files and get started immediately

In Detail

Mobile app and website design are two of of the most popular areas of user experience design. Axure RP 7 allows you to design and build mobile prototypes and deploy them to real devices for testing and stakeholder review. It also allows you to create an interactive HTML website wireframe or UI mockup without coding. Axure 7 has new features such as new widget events, page events, adaptive views, and so on, that give you more flexibility while building mobile prototypes.

If you have experience with Axure but have never designed anything for mobile devices or responsive design, this book will get you started right away. This book contains working examples of how to complete some common mobile design tasks using Axure and focuses on creating rich, functional prototypes for mobiles, whether they are apps or websites.

Using this practical, example-oriented guide, you will learn how Axure RP 7 can be used by user experience designers to create and deploy mobile prototypes on smartphones and tablets.

You will also learn how Axure RP 7 can be used to create adaptive views for multi-device designs, sliding menus, mobile-friendly forms, drag and drop interactions, tool bars, and basic transitional animations common to mobile apps. You will get to know how to publish prototypes so that they can be tested or demonstrated on a real mobile device.

What you will learn from this book

• Design adaptive views for responsive web designs
• Create mobile-friendly forms
• Develop navigation tab bars and menus
• Produce gesture-based interactions
• Work with drag-and-drop interactions in mobile design
• Devise home screen icons and splash screens for mobile apps
• Use Dynamic Panels to organize mobile app screens
• Publish prototypes for testing and viewing on mobile devices

Approach

This book is a step-by-step tutorial which includes hands-on examples and downloadable Axure files to get you started with mobile prototyping immediately. You will learn how to develop an application from scratch, and will be guided through each and every step.

Who this book is written for

If you are a mobile-centric developer/designer, or someone who would like to take their Axure prototyping skills to the next level and start designing and testing mobile prototypes, this book is ideal for you. You should be familiar with prototyping and Axure specifically, before you read this book.

設計手機應用程式與網站與其他領域不同，因此原型設計非常重要。這本書以實例為主，提供了一種實踐的方法，幫助您快速入門並了解Axure在這個領域的能力。

概述：
- 逐步介紹在Axure中建立手機互動所需的步驟。
- 在設備上部署原型並讓使用者評估。
- 下載Axure RP 7文件，立即開始使用。

詳細內容：
手機應用程式和網站設計是使用者體驗設計中最受歡迎的領域之一。Axure RP 7允許您設計和建立手機原型，並將其部署到真實設備進行測試和利益相關者審查。它還可以讓您創建互動式HTML網站框架或UI模型，無需編碼。Axure 7具有新功能，如新的小部件事件、頁面事件、自適應視圖等，使您在構建手機原型時更具靈活性。

如果您有使用Axure的經驗，但從未設計過手機設備或響應式設計，這本書將立即幫助您入門。本書包含了使用Axure完成一些常見手機設計任務的實例，並專注於為手機（無論是應用程式還是網站）創建豐富、功能完整的原型。

通過這本實用的以實例為導向的指南，您將學習如何使用Axure RP 7來創建並部署手機原型，並在智能手機和平板電腦上進行測試。

您還將學習如何使用Axure RP 7為多設備設計創建自適應視圖、滑動菜單、適用於手機的表單、拖放互動、工具欄和手機應用程式常見的基本過渡動畫。您將了解如何發布原型，以便在真實手機設備上進行測試或演示。

從本書中您將學到：
- 為響應式網頁設計設計自適應視圖。
- 創建適用於手機的友好表單。
- 開發導航標籤欄和菜單。
- 創造基於手勢的互動。
- 在手機設計中使用拖放互動。
- 設計手機應用程式的主畫面圖示和啟動畫面。
- 使用動態面板組織手機應用程式畫面。
- 發布原型以在手機設備上進行測試和查看。

這本書是一本逐步教學，包含實踐的例子和可下載的Axure文件，讓您立即開始進行手機原型設計。您將學習如何從頭開始開發應用程式，並將逐步引導您完成每一步。

這本書適合以下讀者：
- 專注於手機開發/設計的開發者/設計師。
- 希望將Axure原型設計技能提升到更高水平並開始設計和測試手機原型的人。
- 閱讀本書前應該對原型設計和Axure有一定的了解。
