Overcoming The Three Phases of Prototyping Flow

Image
Everyone has his/her own way of working, but not all of ways are scientific and effective. Having worked as a UX designer, and learnt knowledge from some books, I come forward with a useful work flow. I hope this could help the rookies and juniors who still have no idea about how to work as a UX designer. 1. Thinking and drafting This is the first step of making a prototype. What we need to do here is springing out our inspirations like a fountain. Hence, all the tools we are going to use are whiteboard and mark pen, even just paper and pencil.

The core they care The most important difference between UI and UX designers is that they have a or the different understanding of prototyping. Many UI designers believe the prototypes should be hi-fi model, sometimes even mix the spurious with the genuine. However, for the UX designers, fidelity is only one point for concerning , they care more about logic.
