Prototyping
Have you ever contemplated creating a prototype but found yourself with a number of questions? What to prototype for usability testing ? Hi fidelity or low fidelity? How will it fit in to the process of a project? What tool should I use?
We will be discussing these and other points at our next MeetUp at CoLoft in Santa Monica.
Alexis Antonelli will present an introduction to prototyping and discuss the different types and uses of prototypes from a user experience as well as a higher-level project perspective.
Christian Sosa-Lanz will be focusing on the use of various levels of fidelity during a UT and referencing the 5 axis' of fidelity as defined in " Breaking the Fidelity Barrier". Steven Diebold will present a case study of a recent startup discussing how to prioritize the design and development of features by business value and bottom line impact using LEAN UX and how that impacts what to prototype and what prototyping and user testing methods to use.
This meetup is sponsored by Axure. Axure is the company behind Axure RP, a wireframing, prototyping, and specification tool that helps you make informed design choices, persuade any skeptics, get your design built to spec.. and maybe win a few fans along the way. Victor Hsu, co-founder of Axure and the product manager for Axure RP will be joining us from San Diego. www.axure.com

Hopefully the organizers will consider doing this meetup again since so many people will not be able to go due to overwhelming response.

Rebecca Leckman1st local meetup for me, and it was great to see I've landed in an active community of UX practitioners!
Nice speakers, great topic.

Bernice GlennI( think prototyping adds value to UX, but if you don't do a strong initial analysis for structure, content, and client and user needs, beforehand and spell it out in sketches and wireframes, your prototyping will not have the best value.
-
PhyllisVery good presentations and discussion. Thank you. Happy you are doing a video so others on the wait list can share

Andreas AdamecWhat I got out of it - as with everything else in life - make your decision based on the context and use your verbal communication skills to set things straight...
