Why We Need Multiple UI Themes for Prototyping?Someone may think a wireframe theme is enough and ask why ForeUI provide multiple UI themes. Is it just an eye candy? Not really. The UI themes in ForeUI are for different usage, they can be grouped to 3 categories:
There are many cases that we need prototyping,, we should use different fidelity of prototype for various reviewers. If we are in the early phase of design, and want to get feedback to some non-technical people, we'd better use low fidelity prototype. Thus the reviewers can focus more on the design itself instead of some texture, and encourage them to modify the design. If we are working on the detailed design, we may need high fidelity prototype, since we need to confirm the details before coding, we may also need to insert the diagram into the design document. In this case we need a polished rendering prototype. Middle fidelity prototype is just between the hi-fi and lo-fi, it can use in both cases. With ForeUI you can create one prototype, just switch the UI themes for all cases above. That will save a lot of time for creating hi-fi, mid-fi and lo-fi prototypes, create one, then you have all of them.
