Principles for Prototyping

These design principles for creating prototypes was created by Todd Zaki Warfel. They can be found in the excellent book Prototyping - A Practitioner's Guide published by Rosenfeld Media. I strongly encourage you to read it.

  1. Understand the audience and intent
  2. Plan a little—prototype the rest
  3. Set expectations
  4. You can sketch
  5. It's a prototype—not the Mona Lisa
  6. If you can't make it, fake it
  7. Prototype only what you need
