YOU TOO CAN

PROTOTYPELEAN

1. Conceptualize it

Categorize everything you need on your application. Post-its are great for this!

Create multiple drawings and placements for various elements.

There’s nothing better than the pen, paper and post its for this.Try out Behance’s Action sheets

2. Wireframe it

Now that you have a basic idea in your mind, you’re ready to put it on a digital pad.

AND..

There are a variety of tools available today!

I personally love Balsamiq..

And Moqups.

Wireframe.cc is super lightweight!

3. Prototype it

You have various wireframes ready, its time to quickly create proof of

concepts.

Lean Prototyping = Test Quickly = Fail Faster

4. Mock it

Mockups generally are medium to high fidelity prototypes made in software like

There’s nothing lean about a mock and in fact should be done once you’ve tested

everything else.

Collaborate?

Will your team and designer always be together?How can you collect feedback and test these wireframes & mockups?
