Lo-fi prototyping

- When a concept is made tangible we call it a prototype.…And these can be quite low fidelity.…In fact, the ability to rapidly and cheaply…flesh out a concept to test and refine…is often crucial for maintaining your momentum.…Low fidelity prototypes are made with…the materials at hand, often paper…and should not take a long time to put together.…Their goal is to iterate the idea with the team…or gather input from people or stakeholders…on a key moment in the product or service experience.…
