What is a prototype?
A prototype is a temporary version of something that allows you to test it out without having to invest money into building it. You can use prototypes to see how well your idea works, whether it looks like it belongs in the real world, and whether it solves a problem people care about. Prototypes can help you make decisions about
which direction to take your project. They can also help you figure out what features are essential to making your product successful.
How do I start?
f you want to try out a prototype yourself, there are many different ways to go about it. Some examples include:
* Sketch up a quick wireframe on paper, cardboard, or even poster board. This helps you visualize how your design might look in the real world.
* Use a software program to draw out a rough sketch of your design. Many programs allow you to work with images, colors, shapes, text, and dimensions.
* Build a physical model of your design using materials such as wood, plastic, foam core, clay, etc.
* Create a digital mockup of your design using 3D modeling software.
* Make a video presentation of your idea.
