  1. DENIMA Sketching Tool for Prototyping Web and Desktop UIs Mark Newman and Jimmy Lin Group for User Interface Research UC Berkeley July 8, 1999

  2. Background: SILK An informal tool for designing GUIs

  3. DENIM goals • Real, deployable system • Support for web site design • Expanded capabilities • Even more informal than SILK SILK

  4. Web Design Study • Visited design firms • 4 Design houses, 1 large internet company • “Ethnographically-inspired” interviews with designers • 4 “UI” Designers, 3 “Graphic” Designers, 4 Hybrids • Interviews focused on specific projects, artifacts • “Take me through a recent project” • Artifacts were collected where possible

  5. Design Specialties • Information design • structure, categories of information • Navigation design • interaction with information structure • Graphic design • visual presentation of information and navigation (color, typography, etc.) Information Design Navigation Design Graphic Design

  6. Design Phases Discovery Assemble information relevant to project Design Exploration Explore alternative design approaches (information, navigation, and graphic) Design Refinement Select one approach and iteratively refine it Production Create prototypes and specifications ... (Hand off to implementers)

  7. DENIM other tools Design Phases and DENIM Discovery information design Design Exploration navigation design graphic design Design Refinement Production Focus of DENIM: Early phase information and navigation design

  8. Design Implications • Designers collect and structure large amounts of information • Need support for information design • Designers produce intermediate artifacts • Focus on creation of artifacts appropriate to design phase • Designers sketch to rapidly explore design alternatives • A sketch-based tool will be helpful in early design • Expression more important than precision

  9. DENIM

  10. DENIM Basic Sketching

  11. DENIM Semantic Zooming

  12. DENIM: Semantic Zooming Site Map view: many pages visible but little or no page-level detail

  13. DENIM : Semantic Zooming Storyboard view: several pages visible, navigation apparent, some page detail

  14. DENIM : Semantic Zooming Sketch view: single page, all detail visible

  15. Tools • Pan and zoom • Pencils • Generic pencil for sketching • “Event pencils” for sketching arrows associated with particular events • Rubber stamps • For inserting components • Built-in components (e.g. buttons) can be sketched

  16. Storyboarding • Composed of panels • Arrows represent transitions between panels • Example:

  17. Storyboarding • Transition arrows also represent different event types • Supported: • Right click • Double click • Timer • Mouse over/off • Animation 1 Edit… Delete 3 sec

  18. Conditionals • For describing transitions that depend on state of widgets • One panel per condition 

  19. Components • Used for custom widgets and reusable sequences of panels • Internally structured as storyboards • Can have named events Storyboard1 - DENIM  done cancel cancel cancel

  20. Using components • Pick up component’s rubber stamp • Stamp component into panel or background • Built-in components (buttons, etc.) can also be sketched

  21. Questions?

  22. Design Specialties User Interface Design • Information Architecture • encompasses info & navigation design, also focuses on content • User Interface Design • also includes testing and evaluation Information Architecture

  23. Conditionals • Can collapse panels into stack to save space 1 of 2 
