Better Design with Paper Prototyping and Testing

You know what you want when it comes to designing your site, your web app, your anything, but what about your users? User experience is at the heart of building a successful product. In this class, we'll explore the full potential of paper and rapid prototyping and how they can help in explaining and optimizing your design ideas.

Get your post-it pads ready, this interactive and hands-on class which will see you building upon your ideas through group exercises and instructor feedback. The instructor help will you think through numerous examples and projects from a users' perspectives by physically mapping out their concerns.

By the end of the workshop you will learn how to mock up ideas with speed. You will learn how to use paper and rapid prototyping to walk through user testing and how it can support the product design process to then be employed to deliver better user experience.
