The Process
Met with our client
Created personas
Brainstormed solutions
Created an initial paper prototype
Fell in love with initial paper prototype

Test Results
Users struggled with the paper prototype
Too many steps required
Confusing directions
![Page 8: A Student’s Pers p ective on Paper Prototyping](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681613d550346895dd0a3c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prototype Improvements
Reduced the number of steps
Clarified the directions and purpose
Considered the museum environment

Lessons Learned
1. You are not your user
2. Paper prototyping enables quick usability testing early and often
3. You cannot outsmart the need for usability testing
