Assignment P5 -- Paper Prototype

Due date: Post images on your website and bring prototype to feedback, 11:59pm, Wednesday Nov. 8

Todos

  1. Post your images of your paper prototype online. There should be (1) overall image (at least 1024x768) with ALL the parts of your paper prototype visible. You should also include smaller images (no more than 800x600, jpgs) that show the sequences of screens users encounter as they go through your 3 tasks.
  2. Note that although this is due on the 8th, to have enough time for user testing, you should leave a week for user testing.

In this step you will create a paper prototype that you will use to test with your users. Your "paper" prototype may be constructed from cardboard, paper, post-its, transparencies, etc. If appropriate, your prototype may include more than just "paper".... it may also include constructions in prototyping environments that allow you to use Wizard-of-Oz techniques (page 245 of Interaction Design) to demonstrate or test your system. Remember, you'll be doing user testing on this prototype for the next assignment, so make sure it's complete enough to support basic interaction even if your users make an error and stray from your prescribed task routes.

Your paper prototype must have enough material to support users going through your 3 tasks (1 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard).
