Prototyping as Communication

Prototyping is to present the idea to different stakeholders:

Colleagues

Clients

Users

Ourselves

Prototypes are disposable!

The rights of a prototype:

• žShould not be required to be complete
• žShould be easy to change
• žGets to retire

Choose the right tools for presenting your ideas. For UI functionality you can use paper prototypes, for effects you already need a simple code example etc. Choose what is appropriate for the idea you want to present.

Also the best designers use prototypes. Its not only a tool for newbies.

Good artists borrow, bad artists steal. - Pablo Picasso

You can take inspiration from others but you cant copy them.
