Stop spending too much time thinking about the ideas, make it tangible and get feedback quickly. Learn the basic understanding of using rapid physical prototyping made out of aluminium foils and implement it into the design process.

6. What is prototype?

7. A prototype is a draft version
of a product.

8. A prototype is something you
can create to tell a story.

9. What kinds of ideas
can you prototype?

10. Mobile Apps (e.g. paper sketches)
Work schedules
Cars
Storyboarding
Food
...Anything can be prototyped

11. How fast?

12. Should always within hours

16. Why prototyping?

17. Make it tangible
Get feedback
Fail fast, improve faster

3.
Key principles

18. Doing is the best way to learn, instead of
sitting there and keep thinking.
Make it tangible1.

19. A good prototype will help you identify
flaws (such as incomplete research or
mistaken assumptions).
Get feedback2.

20. Incremental iterative refinement
Fail fast, improve faster3.

21. “Moving from abstract ideas, theories, plans to
concrete tangible, experiential things.”
Build. Share. Improve.

22. Any questions?

23. Build a low-fidelity prototype
Activity

24. Prototype your ideal underwear
Activity

25. 1. Wallet
2. Smartphone case
3. Water bottle
4. Hat
5. Headphone
Pick a challenge to prototype
Design your ideal

26. 3 min - Identify 5 pain points
3 min - Define “How might we…” statement
5 min - Brainstorm your ideas (sketches)
15 min - Prototype using the aluminium foils
10 min - Share your prototype!

27. 3 min
List down 5 pain points

28. “How might we…”
3 min
Define your
statement

29. 1. How might we redesign a wallet that helps us to take out money at
the cashier while queuing (goal & context) in an easy way (how)?
2. How might we redesign a water bottle that helps us to drink while
jogging (goal & context) without spilling the water (how)?
3. How might we redesign a headphone that allows us to sleep with it
(goal & context) comfortably (how)?
Examples of framing your challenge

30. No idea is a silly idea
My ideal smartphone case

31. My ideal medicine timer + water bottle

32. Rolling Notes Wallet
My ideal wallet

33. Before you begin, a few things to keep in mind when you are doing the
ideation stage.
Stay focus

34. Start prototyping
now!
20 min

35. Share your prototype
15 min (7 min each per individual)
Let them hold the prototype and let them experience it. At the same time, tell them your story behind this prototype
and what is the pain point that you want to solve.

36. Get feedback
15 min (7 min each per individual)
Take turn to give feedback to Note down the feedback from your peers.

37. Iteration round!
5 min

38. Reflection
