Product design requires fast and light weight strategies, in order to make decisions, changes and true innovation. Building prototypes in same medium as the final product is something other industries have done for years. If you want to learn how to push your design process with real collaboration, and live solutions at every phase, then Sketchflow in Expression 3 is THE tool to explore. Discover how to take the ‘fuzziness’ and uncertainty out of your stakeholder meetings, with lo-fi, working sketches and prototypes. Showcase the inherent value of your solutions with rich, tangible, interactive, illustrative, working narratives that clearly demonstrate success. By adopting a dynamic process you can: create and test ideas instantly, FEEL the user experience and share it with your team and clients, all while keeping the solution light and non-destructive. It’s time to take the frustration out of your work!
The event is free of charge and open to all interested parties.
