Quiz Kong Paper Prototype

Last week, my User Interface Design class team was temporarily split into two subgroups. Each subgroup had to create a paper prototype for the image quiz maker we intend to create. Then on Monday we would present our two prototypes in class. These paper prototypes are supposed to let us represent the interaction of our program without getting too distracted by superficial design issues. It was a really fun experience. Making an interactive web site on paper requires a lot of creativity. I felt like I was doing interface scrapbooking, cutting all the pieces of paper and putting them together to form the page. In the end, both our groups came up with different ways to solve the problem. Now the challenge is to somehow merge our two prototypes. Here is what our original homepage looked like:

I especially liked the monkey drawing at the top and the buttons on the right. I wonder how it will look after the merger.

Wow, how cool! This reminds me of my Usability Engineering course. We were also split in subgroups to make protptypes of the same interface and later compare them. Are paper prototypes and the like also called low fidelity prototypes in your class?

Yup, low fidelity prototypes.
