Rapid Prototyping

Develop a rapic design-evaluation cuycle

Start with low fidelity (paper) and more fowards higher prototyping

Vertical Prototypes - in-depth functionality for a few features
Horizontal Prototypes - entire screen with no underlying functioanlity

Types of prototypes:

Paper prototypes (example: portal.acm.org) - easy to change. users preceive that it is easier to change. Often throwing in color or artwork make a use thing that they cannot suggest changes.
Post-it Prototypes (example: www.pocketppcmac.com/_archives/may03/e_prototyping.asp)
Wizard of Oz Prototyping
Wireframe Prototpyes / Wireframing - nothing visual, just shaded blocks explaining what will be there
Storyboarding
