Another step was to create a very
low fidelity prototype.I also like to keep it "old school" and use pencil with sticky notes - and then turn it into interactive design file inside of
Figma.In the 1# image you can see I brainstormed and sketched various layouts.
Then, I cut out the ones I think are great (see 2# image). Also, as I'm sketching, I get all sorts of ideas which I write on sticky notes. It's really helpful.
You see.. The main goal of lo-fi prototypes is to translate high-level design concepts into some form of digestible format, so the team can check and test functionality rather than the visual appearance of the product. That's why
WE ARE NOT paying attention to details such as shadows, colors, fonts and etc. All of that is important, just not in this step.
You will see in the next step, that we add a lot of stuff that's not even in the initial prototype - which is always the case.
