Prototyping

A Practitioner’s Guide to Prototyping

Prototyping

A book in progress by Todd Zaki Warfel. Publisher: Rosenfeld Media. Anticipated publication date: 2009


Prototyping

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

Like other Rosenfeld Media books, A Practitioner's Guide to Prototyping will take a hands-on approach, enabling you to develop prototypes with minimal muss and fuss. The book will discuss 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.

Axure Case Studies Wanted

If you use Axure RP for prototyping and have a good case study that you'd like to contribute to the book, contact me. I'll need it within the next 2-3 weeks.

Prototyping with Fireworks CS4

Well, I'm working on the Fireworks chapter for my book, Practical Prototyping and dug up this great video by Alan Musselman, one of the application engineers on the Adobe Fireworks CS4 team. Alan gives a great introductory overview to some of the powerful new features and enhancements in Fireworks CS4.

I've been using CS4 since it was in Beta, but wasn't aware of some of the powerful enhancements Alan points out in this video, like the asynchronous file saving and ability to have multiple style sets. If you're looking for a great all around prototyping tool that works for lo-fi, hi-fi and can even generate reusable source code, check out Fireworks CS4.

I'll be posting more tips, tricks, and FW CS4 videos in the coming weeks.
