Unique Ways of Prototyping

Abstract

The process of prototyping is not hard to figure out. Choosing actionable items towards what constitutes “prototyping” is hard. In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to some surprising, easy, and effective ways of prototyping which I’ve taught at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. We will go through different fidelities of prototyping using everything from a roll of masking tape to a blindfold fabric. Then, for the workshop option, you’ll have a chance to attempt at prototyping with a partner. We will use a process called role play which requires no knowledge, no creative ability, just a desire to learn and be inspired.
