Interactive Prototype & MockupsUsing Balsamiq Mockups & inVision App

Check out the low-fidelity, clickable mockup made using inVision App!

Final Thoughts & Conclusion

What I’ve learned.- Balsamiq Mockups- inVision App Interactive Prototyping- Prototyping for software ideas is more challenging than mobile/sites- GitHub code sharing
