Speaking as someone who has prototyping as a core part of the process in their work... Personally, I don't want or need to hear any of that. I feel like I've been to several panels over the years that have addressed those questions. Sure, abstractly, I want to know how to prototype better, but it's really hard to pitch that at the right level in a conference presentation where you don't know what your audience members are already doing, right? I'd also like to hear the common pitfalls, but since they're common, I bet there are only one or two I haven't already fallen into. What I'd really like to see are actual prototypes. Paper, Axure, Visio, HTML, Flash, IRise, InDesign etc and whatever. What did they look like, how complicated were they, how long did they take to make, what did you learn, were they too complicated or not dynamic enough? I've used some of those but I'd like see what should or should not be tried with various tools. When I get back home, my team and my bosses love to hear me rant about why we should do more better prototyping, and I'd love to be able to tell them (or show them) about specific things I learned. Just my .02 cents.. -cc ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
