Description
Do you spend a lot of time during the design process wondering what users really need? Do you hate those endless meetings where you argue
how the interface should work? Have you ever developed something that later had to be completely redesigned?
Paper Prototyping can
help. Written by a usability engineer with a long and successful paper prototyping history, this book is a practical, how-to guide that
will prepare you to create and test paper prototypes of all kinds of user interfaces. You'll see how to simulate various kinds of interface
elements and interactions. You'll learn about the practical aspects of paper prototyping, such as deciding when the technique is appropriate,
scheduling the activities, and handling the skepticism of others in your organization. Numerous case studies and images throughout the
book show you real world examples of paper prototyping at work.
Learn how to use this powerful technique to develop products that are
more useful, intuitive, efficient, and pleasing:
* Save time and money - solve key problems before implementation begins
* Get user
feedback early - use it to focus the development process
* Communicate better - involve development team members from a variety of disciplines
* Be more creative - experiment with many ideas before committing to one
Audience
HCI practitioners, usability engineers, software developers, Web designers, and Web application developers.
