GUI Magnets

April 23, 2009 | David Raffauf

Here is a nice tool you can use to plan out forms and GUIs in a meeting.  They’re magnetic form controls that you can stick on a whiteboard.  What’s even better is that you can write on them with dry-erase markers.  These should improve collaboration with developers and producers.

I’ve always wanted a way to collaborate on interfaces.  This should help bring the product manager and developers into your design process.  They’re a little pricey at about $30 per sheet with shipping, but I’m hoping they really help with planning sessions.  I’ll report back once they show up and I can try them out.  Check out the website.  I’m especially interested to see how the hold up to repeat use.

If nothing else they’ll make for some novel gifts.
