iPhone Stencils for Visio

I recently found a great set of stencils for wireframing iPhone apps and mobile websites in Visio. The stencil set was created by Jonathan Abbett of Beacon 16 and is available under a Creative Commons License.

The stencil shapes include:

  • iPhone
  • Navigation Bar
  • Search Bar
  • Browser Bar
  • Four and Five Button Tab Bars
  • Keyboard
  • Date Picker
  • More…

If you need a higher fidelity GUI design toolkit for iPhone and iPad, Speckyboy Design Magazine published a great list of resources last year. If you need to illustrate touch gestures in your wireframes, Luke Wroblewski maintains a Touch Gesture Reference Guide on his website.
