As a matter of interest I was trying to find out more about how to create digital mockups of software.
I have seen people using Visio, Adobe illustrator etc in the past. But in the world of open source there is a need of a good mockup designer.
Google my friend showed me some options.
ForeUI - Trial period - 7 days - not worth it , big download and no advantage
DesignerVista - Trial period - 20 days - save and print feature disabled - good for nothing
Balasmiq - Again we need to buy it aftera few days of trial, but good for its purpose i have read.
Fnally i chose Pencil , a plugin for firefox 3 onwards. Its allows the user to create mockups using windows widgets and some GTW widgets. We can also export the same to PNGs , which we can use in our high level designs and low level designs.
Served my purpose.
