Week 8 was all about prototyping our own designs. We have learned the importance of prototyping, but now we are able to put it into action. This week’s focus of prototyping highlighted the importance of prototyping our designs in a realistic setting the product would be used in. Prototyping is all abut testing ideas; crazy ideas, impossible ideas, boring ideas. Bad ideas are still good ideas to designers. They steer us in the right direction and get us closer to a final product our consumers want and need.
