    Description

    The Touch Template is just a piece of clear plastic, printed with guidelines based on
    a vast pile of actual research
    on how people see, hold and touch their mobile phones and tablets. You need one to measure the interference between touch targets, but it also allows you to measure other visible elements, like finding out how big the text really is.
    You can use it to check your work to make sure you got the scaling right in your drawings, to check for device pixel scale ratio issues that make coded sizes never quite what was intended, and to check out the latest buzzworthy app or the competition and find out what they did right and wrong. It's the size of a credit card, so you can actually keep it in your wallet, so it's always with you.
    Pixels are for computers, tablets and phones. Start designing for fingers, touch, and people.
    If you build, code, engineer, design, specify, test, or evaluate mobile handsets, tablets, kiosks, games or anything with a screen that people look at and touch, you need a Touch Template.
    The fourth-generation Touch Template has added features to make it easier to use on dark interfaces. Now you can actually measure type sizes and use the rulers on your black-background app or site. If you want to, you can see the history of how it came to be, and how the design of the original Touch Template was crowdsourced.

    download
    a bigger clean copy, and print it yourself so it's not all folded and creased from the mail.
