Prototyping

If prototyping isn't already part of your design process, this book will not only persuade you that it should be, but will show you how to make it happen. Todd's straightforward explanations and useful examples will help even experienced designers decide what kind of prototyping to do, when to do it, and what tools will be most effective. When someone asks me about prototyping, I'll be pointing them to this book from now on."

—Kim Goodwin VP Design, Cooper and author, Designing for the Digital Age

Prototyping is a great way to communicate the intent of a design both clearly and effectively. Prototypes help you to flesh out design ideas, test assumptions, and gather real-time feedback from users.

With this book, Todd Zaki Warfel shows how prototypes are more than just a design tool by demonstrating how they can help you market a product, gain internal buy-in, and test feasibility with your development team.
