A Hands-On Introduction to Building Wireframes

This intensive evening workshop will provide an overview of the theory and practice of building wireframes and will also introduce the principles and rationale for creating wireframes in the user centered design process of a software project.

Students will learn software tools for designing wireframes and ways to evaluate the effectiveness of wireframes based on customer feedback. Students will also gain hands-on experience planning and designing wireframes.

Takeaways

• Why make wireframes and how to build and test them
• Discuss user centered design process, rapid prototyping, concept exploration
• Basics of paper prototyping, low fidelity blueprint and design specs
• Discover software tools, stencils libraries, and case studies
• Gathering user feedback and iterative design

Prereqs & Preparation
A Mac laptop is recommended as we will be doing wireframing using Omnigraffle, but is not required.
