How to Build a Prototype

Learn how to create a Digital prototype without any previous Design skills!!

Prototypes are all about illusion. You’ve got an idea for a great solution. Instead of taking weeks, months, or, heck, even years building that solution, you’re going to fake it. In one day, you’ll make a prototype that appears real. And on testing day, your customers will forget their surroundings and just react!

Prototypes are easier to build than you think. These days, thanks to the internet, there are a crazy amount of easy-to-use prototyping tools available. Most of them are free! In this session, we will show you some of the tools that we use when prototyping and share our experiences of prototyping best practices.

We will be bringing you through everything you need to know about prototyping in a Design Sprint e.g the types of prototypes you can create for your Design Sprint, how to use digital prototyping tools, and giving you expert advice and tips on how to best create a story for your prototype.

The prototype mindset:

1. You can prototype anything
2. Prototypes are disposable
3. Build just enough to learn, but not more
4. The prototype must appear real
