The document advocates for the use of prototypes as an effective means to test ideas by quickly addressing challenges through early experimentation. It outlines the key reasons to prototype, such as encouraging decision-making and involving users, and emphasizes the importance of understanding users and questions to be answered. Additionally, it provides resources related to design thinking and prototypes.
The Art of the Prototype
- 1. THE ART OF THE PROTOTYPE
- 2. Hello!
- 3. I have an agenda.
- 4. I’d like you to believe that prototypes are the best way to test an idea.
- 8. “The prototype is an early model or experiment to rapidly create solutions to challenges and problems already defined and discussed by design thinkers.” - from Unpacking Design Thinking: Prototype
- 10. 1. It forces you to make choices.
- 11. 2. It gets your patrons involved.
- 12. 3. It lets you answer questions quickly and cheaply.
- 13. What are the key elements of a prototype?
- 14. 1. Know who your users are.
- 15. 2. Have an idea you believe in.
- 16. 3. Know your questions...
- 17. 4. …And if your prototype will answer them.
- 18. 5. Be curious about what you will learn.
- 19. 6. Be prepared to start again.
- 21. 8. Be prepared to learn the unexpected.
