4. Wireframe One for beginning... Vojtech Outulny 4 28.5.2011

5. Wireframe... It is about... • functionality and layout. • functional specs. • notes about the intended functionality • navigational systems • how interface elements work together • Lack of typographic style, color or graphics This leaves room for the design to be created based on the wireframe.

6. Mock-up One for beginning... Vojtech Outulny 6 28.5.2011

7. Mock-up... It is about... • look and feel • build on the wireframe with color, graphics and polish • may adjust layout slightly but stays within the general guide of the wireframe. Vojtech Outulny 7 28.5.2011

8. Sketch One for beginning... Vojtech Outulny 8 28.5.2011

9. Sketch It is about... • freehand drawing • not intended as a finished work • quick way to record an idea for later • try out different ideas • establish a composition Vojtech Outulny 9 28.5.2011

10. Prototype It is about... • simulate the final design, aesthetics, materials and functionality of the intended design • may be reduced in size or functionality • functions working together • final check for design flaws Vojtech Outulny 10 28.5.2011
