Balsamiq Mockups →
I’ve started using this great app to create UI mockups. You can get a layout knocked-up really quickly, and - importantly - the ‘sketchy’ style makes it obvious to the client it’s just a wireframe - so they’re not compelled to form opinions on the look and feel. As an aside, why is the font rendering on Adobe AIR apps so bad?…
