Prototype Examples

Below are two different examples of prototypes done by past student teams.  Take a look at both and notice how they differ on the spectrum of:

  • Visual Detail
  • Functional Depth
  • Technical Reuse

House of Songs - (Wordpress Template)

  • This team chose to build their project in Wordpress using a template that was purchased on ThemeForest.  Since the client's site had a lot of information and a complicated web flow, they decided to quickly start prototyping in Balsamiq.  The benefit of using Balsamiq was that they were able to create these in about a week.  This was reviewed by the client and feedback that was given was vital to capturing the right design.  The negative of Balsamiq was the lack of technical reuse but the team saw the speed and quickness to visual detail as a larger benefit.  This team also later added hotspots to all users to click through the prototyped pages.
