SimpleDiagrams doesn't offer quite as many speedy shortcuts as some of the competition. The completed project may be exported as a PDF or PNG image, and there's also an experimental "Save as SVG" option. ![]() These could be handy for recording details like feedback on an idea, or the person assigned to deal with something. The finished sketch or diagram can be dressed with photos, sticky notes and index cards. Your symbols may be aligned, resized, grouped to move them all at once, layered above or below other symbols. The libraries include a small but useful set of UI Flow symbols: a login form, chart, form, map, dashboard, shopping cart icon etc.Ĭonnection lines may be straight, or curved with multiple points, and there are 10 styles available for each line end (straight, arrow, circle and more). If you like that idea, you can also set a fill colour with a slightly uneven pencil line texture. Boxes are slightly irregular, there are stick men, and so on. ![]() One unusual feature is that most (though not all) of the symbols have a hand-drawn look. A sidebar gives easy access to more than 500 shapes and symbols you drag and drop whatever you need onto the page, then connect them, add text, change properties and more. Will incorporate some of this into my Prezi presentation! Fantastic tool.SimpleDiagrams is a straightforward tool for creating sketches, UI flow diagrams, flowcharts, simple UML charts and more. Really nice boxes and grunge sketch look - awesome!! I will check out the video and other components available for the upper level subscription. Like different age group demographic icons: moms, older people, students, business person, and the stuff they use in daily life - car, cellphone, ipad, computer, maybe a cool set of grunge quotation mark icons, like the brackets - love those! In sales process we are showing people and the things they use - how it makes their life easier - so having that visually helps to convey the interactivity. ![]() It helps me put the macro then the micro together and to share the concepting with others!ĬUTE iconography! Only "cons" to list, if there are any - I wish there were more people and computer icons. People who have projects that are not linear - but very associative - where components are interconnecting in a way that writing paragraphs and descriptions about concepts gets too long and you lose people! I work around it by rotating the boxes, flipping them, or choosing similar shapes to mix it up a little.Ĭomments: I am ideas person! Love mind mapping - not outlining! This makes the drawings look a little less hand-drawn. When you apply a certain hatch pattern to them, the pattern will be identical. ![]() The second is that if you use a half-dozen boxes of a certain type, they're going to be identical. The big arrows are drawings and distort just like drawings. There are two things main things I wish were better: The first is that if you stretch to enlarge an arrow drawing the arrow head is stretched and distorted. Even the curve drawing tool, difficult in most other packages, it just click and drag to stretch into the shape you want - it's so easy! There's energy in the diagrams that something more formal wouldn't have. The neat and hand-drawn appearance of the conveys informality that generates discussions with clients, implies draft status, and makes material less intimidating. Comments: It's quick and easy to create informal, accessible drawings for discussions with clients.
