with Alan Trow-Poole and Ritch Macefield
23rdJun '09
About the event
User Centred Design (UCD) intrinsically requires the iterative development and testing of prototypes. Over the years there have been many approaches to prototyping and today a number of different approaches are still in common use throughout our discipline. Tonight's presentation will first provide an overview of the prototyping landscape. It will then provide a review and demonstration of Axure RP Pro, a-state-of-the-art dedicated prototyping tool. This will include explanation of how Axure RP Pro can be used to design wireframes and interactions, produce specification documents, and produce functioning prototypes designed for usability testing. If you have always wanted to learn more about how prototyping can be applied as part of your development design process, tonight's event will be a valuable introduction to this topic.
