Hi i want to make a graphical user interface and I’m supposed to design one on paper.Please could someone explain to me what I’m supposed to do. Am I supposed to use a specific application or is it on processing?

Only you can know what it means by asking whoever said that (seems like a school homework…)

> I’m supposed to design one on paper

I would understand that pretty literally, take a piece of paper and design what the application will look/feel like. What does the user see, when, what happens when you click here or there. No coding required, just drawing

Oh ok thanks I did ask but I’m the type of person who doesn’t understand things easily.

Look for g4p or control p5. They can be found in the processing tools.
