2. What is Prototyping “Prototyping is the creation of simple, incomplete models or mockups of a design. It provides designers with key insights into real-world design requirements, and gives them a method to visualize, evaluate, learn, and improve design specifications prior to delivery.” There are three basic kinds of prototyping: Concept, Throwaway, and Evolutionary

3. Concept Prototyping Concept prototyping creates of a product for the purpose of explaining the concept to others in order to find out design flaws and requirements

4. Throwaway Prototyping Creates a product for the purpose of seeing how it comes across to the target audience, then thrown away to start again from the beginning with the new collected information. Ex: automobile designs for wind tunnels

5. Evolutionary Prototyping The initial prototype is developed, evaluated, and then refined until it “evolves” into the final product

6. Prototyping Purpose After creating a prototype, you should be able to collect enough information to create a final product more suited to your target audience. Something that you feel can get the point across to your audience efficiently and effectively.
