Free InDesign Library - Wireframe Elements


Here are some useful wireframe elements I put together to share. Feel free to grab this file and add your own stuff to it. If you have any great items you want to share, please send them to me so I can add them!

This library works on Adobe InDesign CS2 for Mac and Windows.

I hope Interaction Designers who haven't tried InDesign will do so now....I prefer it to Visio any day.

Feel free to leave comments/suggestions.

Thanks Maya!
I'm using Omni Graffle and would like to try InDesign for proyotyping so this helps.

Very cool Maya ... thanks! I come from many years experience in QuarkXPress (graphic design as well as prototyping/wireframing) but I've been dabbling in InDesign. I'm a huge
Adobe fan so it really does make sense. Anyway, these are great. If I come up with any cool new ones I'll be sure to share-back.

I like InDesign better than OmniGraffle for its ability to manage multiple-page documents.

It really depends on what kind of document you are producing-- for a large set of wireframes, I would use InDesign. If you are just making a quick logic flow schematic, or a one-page sitemap, maybe OmniGraffle would be better.

InDesign also allows you to create buttons and links within your document, so it works great for multiple-page interactive PDFs.

It never hurts to learn another tool, so you can have a choice!

Hi Maya,

is Indesign also usefull for creating flowcharts en sitemaps? I think Viso is better for that things, because of the dragg en drop system? What do you think?

ever tried Fireworks for wireframing? (The typical answer I get to that is "they still make Fireworks??") The CS3 version supports multiple pages, and is supposed to be pretty good for wireframing and prototyping. GUUUI did a little writeup: http://tinyurl.com/4ryxww

I haven't tried Fireworks yet, but will totally look into it.

This Library is super out-of-date and some of the elements are even broken! Sorry guys. I'll post a new one soon.

cheers,
maya

Its Thursday Feb 12 '09 and I find your InDesign template VERY useful.

I have produced wireframes with Visio,OmniGraffle, AXURE, iRise, Illustrator, Fireworks, PowerPoint.

InDesign is the best!

If you use Indesign, have you also tried this: unify.eightshapes? search on google for correct url.
