The document outlines six essential steps for creating an effective graphical user interface (GUI) for applications and websites. These steps include mind mapping, sketching, rough user flow sketches, detailed user flows, wireframes, and visual UI design/mockups. Following these steps can help in developing a successful and functional GUI that enhances user experience.

10. 4. Detailed User Flows
❖User interface-flow diagrams also called
storyboards.
❖Windows navigation diagrams enables you to
model the high-level relationships between major
user interface elements.
❖The boxes represent major user interface

15. 5. Wireframes
❖It means refining your ideas formed during the
sketching process and dictating the finer details
of a user interface
❖Wireframes are basic shapes or lines used to
designate position and size only
❖ Also known as Skeleton Design
❖Wire framing is usually done in black and white
❖ A wireframe is about functionality

❖Mockups are built on top of the wireframes and
show overall appearance aspects of a design
including type of choices, color choices etc.
