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.
This event is free of charge and open to all interested parties. However, for security reasons, only those on the guest list will be admitted. Please bring photo ID.

DUANE BRAY, interaction designer and head of Digital Media for IDEO, and RYAN JACOBY, who leads IDEO’s Business Design discipline, will co-lead a discussion about the intersection of interaction and business design. Drawing on examples from IDEO’s past work as well as inspirational stories elsewhere in the world, the two will consider the question of how interaction and business designers approach problems, how the relationship between the two disciplines has changed, and how collaboration can lead to rich user experiences and business solutions.
