Abstract
The paper prototyping is a quick method of UI design and concept presentation. However, hand-drawn UI prototypes (paper prototypes) are not always visually good. Sometimes rough hand sketched prototypes create confusions during UI concept validation with the target users or clients. Therefore, aim of this paper is to design and develop the UI stencil to help mobile UI designers to crate quick, easy and visually pleasing paper prototypes. A total of three UI stencil prototypes were designed and developed for usability testing to ensure the user acceptance of UI stencil. It was observed that UI designers were willing to use the ‘Stencil-3’ for mobile UI design as the level of perceived usability and perceived ease of use were higher in case of ‘Stencil-3’ than the other stencils. Moreover, it was observed that users were taken comparatively less time for UI screens using ‘Stencil-3’ than the time taken for hand drawings of the same UI screens. Hence, this UI stencil might be beneficial for UI designers for quick, consistent and pleasant paper prototype design.
