Are you a designer and you are planning to launch your new plan, do you need to make a prototype for your design and you are wondering how you will do it? This article will provide you with some insights to help you come up with the best prototype as you possible can and be able to foresee the success of you design. So to get you started you will learn the exact meaning of what is meant by the name prototype, a prototype is a sample for your product that is made to prove one’s concept and to aid in testing the concept’s viability. With the aid of a prototype an engineer or even a designer stands the chance of pretesting their idea before fully allowing it to the market and therefore one has the chance of checking several functions or features of their idea ad is a good stepping stone for innovators.
Here are some of the things to consider if you are to make a successful prototype, first you will need to consider the audience you intend to present the prototype to and tailor it to fit the audience. You will notice that for different types of audience it is advisable you use a particular prototype to convey your message a clearly as possible. For any prototype make r and presenter one needs to understand the prototype and be able to explain exactly what the prototype stands for and help them see it from the same point as them. Also when making a prototype make sure to use a participatory design to enable you get some feedback from your users , this can be achieved in a number of ways that include; the use of paper prototypes or even using user testing to enable your user to interact and give response on the prototype.
As a prototype maker be sure to focus on all the major concepts of the idea to make you prototype work. Break down your design in order to fully explain it to your audience and prove its workability. Make the prototype’s interaction phase as simple as you possibly could to make it easy for the users to gain access of the information on the prototype and have a concept of the product represented. The reception of the final product greatly relies on the success of the prototype and therefore one should make the prototype as real as possible by including some of the animations and transitions expected in the final product. Hope this article was of great hep and indeed you create a great prototype.
