The document outlines a method for quickly prototyping interactive iPad apps using Apple Keynote in 30 minutes or less. It provides step-by-step instructions for planning screens, downloading a theme, combining assets, creating hyperlinks, and exporting prototypes for testing. The prototype allows for easy iteration based on user feedback without requiring any coding.

- 1. How to Prototype Interactive iPad apps in 30 minutes or less Using Apple Keynote
- 2. Why Keynote?
- 3. During your presentation, you don’t need to switch to another tool to show your prototype.
- 4. When you email your pitch deck to someone, you don’t have to include installation instructions.
- 5. The prototype also works on the iPad without any additional work (and without writing a single line of code)
- 6. Here are the assets I use to create my prototypes. (These assets were all created in Keynote)
- 10. Here is how you can create your own
- 11. 1. Plan your screens and transitions
- 13. 2. Install the iPad Theme file
- 14. Downlod this Keynote theme from http://bit.ly/iPadSlideshare
- 15. 3. Access Master slides to grab assets from
- 17. 4. Combine assets* to create app screens * All assets are editable in Keynote. There are no images
- 21. 5. Create hyperlinks between slides
- 23. 6. Export as Quicktime or PDF to test on your laptop or iPad
- 25. 7. Tranfser it to the iPad or send it to friends to try out. Test it with real users.
- 26. What does the outcome look like?
- 27. Your prototype doesn’t need to be perfect It just needs to capture the idea behind the interface and interactions so that you can get feedback before you start coding.
- 28. The Keynote template can be downloaded from http://bit.ly/iPadSlideshare
- 29. A similar template for prototyping web applications is available at http://bit.ly/KeynoteSlideshare
- 30. Next time you’re giving a presentation, remember this: If a picture is worth a thousand words, a prototype is worth a thousand pictures.
