No, I think for the "lo-fiest" interactive prototype you need just one pen and some paper. But my point was, using Exp. Blend for lo-fi prototyping would be like using a giant oil palette for sketching, since this is also a heavy software tool. So I think it does not always make sense to use those production-ready tools from the beginning, and one of the strengths of a good designer is to know when to use what tool, and when to apply which technique. Did you ever use DENIM? Apart from requiring a tablet pc, being a bit unstable here under linux, it is great to quickly create low-fi prototypes basen on sketches. It creates HTML output which is easy to share, and yes you may even use more than one colour though I never used that function :) - now that's a light tool for early phases, doing the same in Blend would be much more effort. To the other points I totally agree, there is no such design that results in intermediate states. The designer must have a vision, the vision is the final product, and the result of his work has to be close to that. He/she has to master all technologies involved to communicate and implement that vision. milan -- milan guenther * interaction design ||| | | |||| || |||||||| | || | || +33 6 67 11 13 83 * www.guenther.cx ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
