Now that you've picked a few interesting ideas from the brainstorming board, it's time to start exploring them in more detail. In this phase of the design process, you'll focus on exploring a couple of ideas rapidly.
In this activity, you'll sketch and make fast, simple prototypes. This exploration will help you learn more about your ideas and choose a direction for your final project.
Instructions
Step 1: Sketching
Pick your two favorite ideas and sketch them. You can sketch them together or separately - either way is fine.
Sketching is a tool for communication; it's not about artistic ability, so make sure you sketch in ways that help you and your partner better understand the potential project idea.
Step 2: Low-Fidelity Prototyping
Time is tight in this fast-paced studio environment, so now you need to choose one project direction and make 2 prototypes that represent it. The prototypes can be small - perhaps the size of your hand or a small notebook. You'll make these two prototypes out of easy-to-use materials such as paper, cardboard, and hot glue.
Step 3: Add design elements to your prototypes
In the next stage of the studio, you'll be sharing these prototypes and receiving feedback. Take a few minutes to add details to your cardboard prototypes. You can also add small human figures cut out of paper or cardboard to your models to help the audience better understand the scale (size) of your project.
Step 4: Documentation
Take pictures of your low-fidelity prototypes. You'll be sharing these in your final presentations.
