Paper prototyping allows designers to test user interfaces early in the design process through inexpensive iterations. Key benefits of paper prototyping include testing usability through tangible prototypes on a limited budget. The process involves sketching screen layouts and flow, preparing interactive elements, and testing prototypes with end users to gain insights from their experiences. Tools like wireframes, stencils and prototyping apps support the paper prototyping workflow.

2. What is Prototyping?
> Tangibility, experiencing and testing of results
> Prototypes allows end-users to participate early in the innovation process.
> Surface feel allows earliest understanding of complex challenges.

3. What kinds of interface can you prototype?

4. The Power of Prototyping

5. What is Paper Prototyping?

6. Why Paper Prototyping?
Easy iterations
Built for your budget
Easy documentation

7. Where does paper prototyping fit into
the design process?
1. The design team uses paper for their presentation to a larger group of people who have
a vested interest in the product.
2. Users run through a set of existing paper mock-ups or are given blank paper and asked
to represent a concept by sketching it.

8. Paper Prototyping Steps
1. Determine the key interactions
2. Sketch screen layouts:

9. 3. Determine the screen flow/sequencing:
4. Prepare interactive elements

10. 5. Take your prototype for a test run
“Any design based on a written spec is
a design based on theory.
A design based on a prototype is
a design based on experience and practice.”

DIY Wirephone-holder
POP - Prototyping on paper
UI Stencils
UXPin – Paper prototyping notepads

12. USABILITY TESTING WITH PAPER PROTOTYPES
> Allow users to mock up ideas they think would solve a problem.
> Mark on the prototype where a user attempted to “click” or otherwise interact with the interface
> Ask users to draw what they expect to happen next.
> Keep going even if you don’t have access to a testing lab or if computers, networks, or high-tech
prototypes don’t work as expected.
