Project prototype
The photo here shows the prototyping process for one of our group project last semester. We used three different tools for prototyping: the write board, the paper, and Balsamiq (on the computer). We first drew our initial ideas on the write board. Then added more details in the paper prototyping process. And finally made the formal prototype using Balsamiq. Paper was used to create rough, hand-sketched, drawings of project interface. It’s a simple and useful prototyping method since it provided a great deal of useful feedback which resulted in the balsamiq prototype process. It also saved our time and allowed easy modification to existing designs thus enabling rapid design iterations. We easily detected the usability problems at very early stage via the paper prototype. It also facilitated the communication between the group members. We used the computer to search the design information, look up the good samples and prepare the Balsamiq prototype.
