1. How to Prototype
Interactive iPad apps
in 30 minutes or less
Using Apple Keynote

2. Why
Keynote?

3. During your presentation, you don’t
need to switch to another tool to
show your prototype.

4. When you email your pitch deck
to someone, you don’t have to
include installation instructions.

5. The prototype also works on the iPad
without any additional work (and
without writing a single line of code)

6. Here are the assets I use to create
my prototypes.
(These assets were all created in Keynote)

10. Here is how you can create
your own

11. 1. Plan your screens and transitions

13. 2. Install the iPad Theme file

14. Downlod this Keynote theme from

15. 3. Access Master slides to grab assets from

17. 4. Combine assets* to create app screens
* All assets are editable in Keynote. There are no images

21. 5. Create hyperlinks between slides

23. 6. Export as Quicktime or PDF to test on
your laptop or iPad

25. 7. Tranfser it to the iPad or send it to
friends to try out.
Test it with real users.

26. What does the outcome look like?

27. Your prototype doesn’t need to be perfect
It just needs to capture the idea behind
the interface and interactions so that you
can get feedback before you start coding.

30. Next time you’re giving a presentation,
remember this:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a
prototype is worth a thousand pictures.
