Having been a fan of rapid prototyping since my days at British Telecom, it seems that the value of this excercise is finally getting the attention it deserves at all levels of design and development. The argument that prototyping is a time consuming and expensive step on the road to application development has fallen away and now people are clamouring to test their designs before a line of code is written.
Progress in my view.
The truth about prototyping is that it is neither time consuming nor costly if applied judiciously on a case by case basis. Someone moving from a Wordpress Blog template to a bespoke template from an agency may only need crayons and paper to draw their expectations for the designer. This is also prototyping – low fidelity prototyping – and it’s perfectly useful in the right situations and is always the first place to start. I find a place with lots of wall space ideal for starting the design process.
I’m no designer, in the make pretty and add oomph sense of the word. I’m a designer of people’s experiences and that’s the way I like it. From paper to computerized flow charts and mockups, my true calling is digital rapid prototyping: developing interactive, "what you see is what you get", interpretations of mockups and strategy directives.
