Crate a prototype
Paper prototyping
Paper prototyping is an effective method of testing user interfaces or a feature of a product or a service at an early point simply by using paper, post-it notes or cardboard.
If you are creating a prototype for a digital service on paper, the customer simulates clicking in the interface by pointing their finger. You present an interface to the user and simulate the transition to the next interface by replacing one drawing with the next.
Paper prototypes are a very cost-effective method and can be used to get user feedback early on in the process. There are numerous advantages to this method: It is often quicker to sketch new interfaces on paper than to develop them digitally. In addition, they are easily changed during and after the user test.
Digital mock-ups
A digital prototype is a digital visualisation of the product or service, but still does not require any form of programming knowledge. Using simple design templates called wireframes, you can produce digital prototypes of mobile applications, web applications and similar items. Suitable tools include, for example, PowerPoint, Keynote, Photoshop or those available on your PC/Mac.
Product prototypes
If you have access to a 3D printer, this can be a great way to produce a physical product prototype. You can also use odds and ends that you have to hand, e.g. elastic bands, cardboard, paper clips, jelly babies and Lego.
