“Prototyping for UX Practitioners” with Todd Zaki Warfel (New York, NY)

Ever had a moment when you’re presenting your detailed design work and you get an unenthusiastic “Is that it?” from your audience?This can sometimes happen when a project has been in design development without conceptual feedback or consensus-building. We often move forward rapidly with our detailed design work due to time pressure. Sure, we incorporate our assumptions about the users, their needs, the technology, and the business. But those assumptions need to be validated early and often (with stakeholders and end users) to ensure success.Prototyping — building a mockup of a design to validate its direction — has never been easier. Designers today have a plethora of tools for every stage of the development process. New techniques make it fast and easy to get a design working, allowing you to effectively communicate your intentions to others.

IxDA invited Todd Zaki Warfel, author of the upcoming book “A Practitioner’s Guide to Prototyping”, to give  a comprehensive overview of the prototyping landscape. You’ll see the full gamut of prototyping techniques, from paper to JavaScript and everything in between. Todd will also lead participants in a hands-on paper prototyping exercise to demonstrate the amazing power of paper.
