Paper Prototyping

Paper Prototyping

• There are many media for doing this.
  • See lots of examples of paper prototyping here
  • An interesting article: Paper Prototyping
• Advantages
  • Very cheap which saves money
  • But also makes it less painful when it has to be changed totally
  • Allows a user to take over and cross things out and suggest other ideas
• You can take this as far as you want.
  • Smaller snippets for the various ui widgets (e.g. drop down menus)
  • Make a “screen flow diagram” by connecting the different sheets of paper with lines showing the transitions
  • It is similar to a movie ‘storyboard’

Here is my example: not good UI.
