Sketching user experience

Draft

Introduction

According to Nicolai Marquardt, (1/2014) “When designing user experiences with interactive surfaces, hand drawn paper-pencil sketches are a valuable tool for finding the right design; long before refining the work and getting the design right (Baskinger, 2008; Buxton, 2007). Sketches are lightweight and easy to create, and by varying the fidelity of sketches they can be an integral part during all stages of interaction design”
