Study Notes
Collaborative Design Methods
- Collaborative methods in design facilitate brainstorming, exploration of ideas, and communication among team members.
- Examples of collaborative methods include:
- Paper Cutouts (Paper Prototyping)
- Stenciling
- Sketching
Wireframing
- Wireframing involves creating a basic visual representation of a digital interface.
- Wireframes are typically low-fidelity, focusing on the layout, structure, and functionality of the interface.
- The purpose of wireframing is to:
- Outline the skeletal framework of the user interface
- Establish the arrangement of elements
- Visualize the overall layout and flow of the interface
- Identify potential usability issues
- Make informed decisions about the user experience before investing time and resources
Characteristics of Wireframes
- Visual depictions of an interface that convey the following details:
- Structure: How will the pieces of this site be put together?
- Content: What will be displayed on the site?
- Informational hierarchy: How is this information organized and displayed?
- Functionality: How will this interface work?
- Behavior: How does it interact with the user? And how does it behave?
Non-Digital Wireframing Methods
- Practice of creating wireframes using simple black and white sketches on a whiteboard or a blackboard.
- Examples of non-digital wireframing methods include:
- Black & Whiteboarding
- Paper Cutouts (Paper Prototyping)
- Stenciling
- Sketching
