Free printable iPad design template stencils (PDF)

Ipad-templates

Recently I've been mapping out a new iPad app in my head and it had gotten to the stage where I needed to start getting some initial ideas down on paper. I got pretty fed up of drawing iPad templates over and over again and the rougher (and quicker) I drew them the more they failed to cut the mustard.

I figured that there must be a template I could find somewhere online, but almost all that I found where PSD’s, which were for digital wireframing or designing (not really a problem as such, but not right for me in this instance). There were a couple of printable ones but these were quite detailed and heavy on the printer ink. There are paper iPad pads available for purchase but to be honest I wasn’t really interested in buying one and waiting for it to be delivered. I really just wanted a document I could open and print without messing around.

I’m sure there are others like this out there, but I knew it wouldn’t take long to knock one together myself in Illustrator. After designing the full page template I decided to put together some other template formats. This way you can use the type of template you prefer working with or use a combination.

These templates will be good for:

  • collaborating on ideas,
  • wireframing,
  • storyboarding,
  • interaction design,
  • presenting ideas to clients,
  • & I’m sure you can think of more.

Template includes:

  • 1-up full page.
  • 1-up with notes - Portrait & Landscape.
  • 2-up with notes - Portrait & Landscape.
  • 3-up with notes - Portrait & Landscape.
  • 4-up without notes.
  • 6-up without notes.
  • 8-up with notes - Portrait & Landscape.

So download the PDF file below and please let me know if you have any feedback. Please feel free to do with these as you wish but please do not redistribute them without a credit.

Exactly my thinking. I also found quite a few tools/templates online, but while certainly useful they were simply to advanced for my stage of progress (which is: thinking on paper, until things start to feel sorted in my head ;) ) So thanks a lot for this nifty PDF!

I think it is best to post far more typically, you clearly have all-natural capacity for blogging! I like the writing structure of your blog.. hosting a website
