Prototyping and mockups

Storyboars

  • Don't focus on UI before focusing on the task the UI should help to accomplish.
  • Story boarding focuses only on tasks.
  • It should focus on tasks that a persons UI helps them to accomplish.
  • Shows flow in time and key points at it.
  • Use stars for drawing people  - star people :).
  • At the end the positive outcome should also be added.
It should convey:

 Setting 
  1. people involved
  2. environment
  3. task being accomplished
 Sequence 
  1. What steps are involved?
  2. What leads someone to use the app?
  3. What task is being illustrated?
 Satisfaction 
  1. What motivates people to use the system?
  2. What does this enable people to accomplish?
  3. What need does the system fill?
Use timeframe! Dont spend too much time doing it!
