Getting a chance to work in industry that you’ve heard so much in school is a really great experience. Today I’m hyped up about designing user interfaces and writing specifications for how things should work.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m a big fan of paper prototypes<\/a>. A technique where you create low-fidelity prototypes that allow you to iterate quickly and without need to invest a lot of time in creating ideas. Trying this for a while now, I’ve learned that just paper prototypes are not enough. People just doesn’t take them too seriously.<\/p>\n

This time around, I’m experimenting with upgrading my paper prototypes with computerized version. Nothing too high-fidelity, just printed wireframes in nice boxes and with a rough copy in place.<\/p>\n

What about tools? I decided to experiment with OmniGraffle<\/a> Pro (being a Mac Head) and some excellent stencils from Graffletopia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To make the whole process easier, I followed a great video from\u00a0Michael Angeles<\/a>,\u00a0Creating prototypes with OmniGraffle<\/a>, it shows you how to use Actions->Jump tool to create interactive PDF’s that you can use to simulate actual user interaction. It also quickly presents good layout technique, how you’re supposed to have a Master layer with overall grid and then just create different canvases for new layers. Best spent 5 minutes of last week, watching that.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0Go watch the video, and give a bit more hi-fi prototypes a chance, after being happy with your paper ones.<\/p>\n
