N2 - The Five Design-Sheet Methodology is a sketching methodology that helps people ideate different designs; it has been used to develop computer interfaces, games and data visualisations. Traditionally, it is a paper-based process that structures the developer to think about their design solution over five sheets with five sections. However, with the rise of mobile phones and tablets, there is an emerging opportunity to achieve the sketched design ideation process in a digital form. This work investigates the transition of the Five Design-Sheets from a paper-based methodology into a digital sketching application. The paper introduces how we considered the challenge, and have started to develop an application. Currently our application implements the first sheet of the FdS process. We describe the application and present a brief evaluation of the work with designers and developers.
