Paper Prototyping: The Fast and Easy Way to Design and Refine User Interfaces (Interactive Technologies) Review by B.Z. Baracus
I thought I was missing something when prototyping-I wasn't.
3 Stars == Neutrality
If you are looking for a book on conducting quick usability testing with potential users without touching a computer, this book is for you.
If you are looking for special techniques that you think you're missing when it comes to modelling on paper, then look elsewhere. You would do just as well to read the remainer of this review.
A summary: Draw a complete interface, including buttons, menus, and other interface elements on a bunch of sheets of paper -- one piece for every window, dialog, or behavior. Don't use a ruler. Hold the pieces of paper in front of a potential user. Have them attempt to perform tasks relevant to your system without how-to assistance. After a few users, you'll have a good idea of what's utterly unusable.
