This week’s readings are good for learning why the prototype is important for the design process. We can get a connection with our target buyers by building a prototype with our target buyers. Furthermore, we also may meet more challenges and solutions during building the product prototype. I think consumer-centric and colleague-centric are the most important part of a prototype. I may also need to connect with the idea of “human-centered design” to fulfill the consumer’s needs. Moreover, prototyping deepens my understanding of users and the design space. After building the prototype, I should ask different users to get various answers and advice for my product, then I may refine some new solutions. I think the prototype is the main step to our design, and this step also indicates my ideas are working.
