In week four we will focus on prototyping

Monday

(1) Introduction

A participatory design cycle
A participatory design cycle
  • Discussion of the card sorting activity (hw3)

(2) Main activity: Early prototyping with wireframes

(videos needed here ...)
Short overview of Web prototyping software
Web wireframe tools
  • Paper prototyping with post-its. We shall design a few webster pages and then move on to personal projects on Wednesday

Administration:

  • Mid-term exam type / topic (Week 5).

Wednesday

  • Prototyping with wire frameing software. We shall use Pencil project, installed on N:\Pencil
  • People with their own PC:
    • Install Pencil Project on your Personal Computer (Win/Linux only). Use the standalone version. The Firefox extension won't work with FF 4.
    • Mac users can go for trial versions of JustinMind or Balsamiq or use an online tool (see web wireframe for lists of software).
