Elevating UI Designs Through High-Fidelity Prototypes
As visual designers, it can sometimes be challenging to show why our design concepts are viable solutions to our design challenges. This is especially true in the UX field, as flat designs and complex user flows are hard to follow. However, through rapid prototyping techniques, we can bring our UI designs to life.
Creating high-fidelity prototypes is one of the best ways to validate or improve our design theories. These prototypes allow us to get them into the eyes, ears, and hands of other people who can offer great feedback while we are designing. So, while getting feedback may seem like one of the most intimidating parts of the design process, it is also one of the most potent ways to build robust product solutions.
Join, Founder & Product Designer, Christopher Smith, as you elevate your UI designs through high-fidelity prototypes. Together, you will use design thinking methodologies to rapidly prototype design ideas. You will then break out individually to create a fully designed app prototype—similar to what you would present within a larger design team or a client. Imagine bringing life to your designs, so you can help your client and team imagine business opportunities and potential.
