Keynote is an incredibly efficient tool for designing user interfaces for web and mobile applications and allows you to wireframe, create high fidelity designs, mockup interactions, create visual specs, simulate animations, create interactive prototypes and present all from one tool. In this two and a half hour long workshop, I'll be walking through some of the workflows that I use in Keynote, show tips and tricks, talk about best practices, do a quick demo and answer lots and lots of questions.
Some takeaways of the workshop include:
• Why to use Keynote
• When to use Keynote and when to use Photoshop and Illustrator
• Complete overview of Keynote (Toolbar, Setup, Inspectors, Masters, Drawing Tools, Animations, etc.)
• Top 10 Hints/Tricks in Keynote
• Attendees will complete a mockup exercise during the workshop
• Time for Q&A
