Slide 1: Prototypes and Available Prototyping Tools
Slide 2: Introduction
- Explain the importance of prototypes in the design process
- Emphasize the need to test and validate ideas before development
- Mention the benefits of prototypes in identifying and solving user pain points
Slide 3: What is a Prototype?
- Definition: A simulation or sample version of a final product used for testing
- Purpose: Validate ideas before sharing with stakeholders and development teams
- Highlight the role of prototypes in visualizing and optimizing the user experience
Slide 4: Paper Prototyping
- Early design stage exploration
- Collaboration and fast concept exploration
- Sketching ideas by hand with simple lines, shapes, and text
- Simulating user flows on paper screens
- Advantages: Speed, inexpensive, team-building, documentation
- Disadvantages: Unrealistic, false positives, lack of immediate user reactions
Slide 5: Digital Prototyping
- Types: Low-fidelity (wireframes) and high-fidelity (mockups)
- Realistic interactions and usability testing
- Flexibility to iterate and improve
- Advantages: Realistic interactions, flexibility, speed
- Disadvantages: Learning curve, cost
Slide 6: HTML & JavaScript Prototyping
- Rare approach but offers accurate results
- Advantages: Final product functionality, technical foundation
- Platform agnostic and accessible
- Disadvantages: Dependent on designer skill level, potential limitations in creativity
Slide 7: Available Prototyping Tools
- Figma: All-in-one collaboration tool with browser-based platform
- InVision Studio: Functional prototypes with vector drawing, repeatable components, and collaboration features
- Adobe XD: Vector-based tool with interaction and dynamic functionality
- Highlight key features, benefits, and integration capabilities of each tool
Slide 8: Summary
- Recap the benefits of prototypes and their role in the design process
- Reiterate the importance of clear objectives and KPIs in usability studies
- Encourage exploration of different prototyping methods and tools based on project requirements
Slide 9: Conclusion
- Emphasize the value of prototyping in enhancing the user experience
- Highlight the significance of testing and validating ideas early in the design process
- Thank the audience and invite questions
