Design Process

What is the purpose of brainstorming in the design process?

• Brainstorming is only useful for individual work in the design process

• Brainstorming is a waste of time in the design process

• Brainstorming limits creativity in the design process

• The purpose of brainstorming in the design process is to generate ideas, encourage creativity, promote collaboration, and explore different perspectives.

Name one technique that can be used during the brainstorming phase.

• Clustering

• SWOT analysis

• Brain dumping

• Mind mapping

Why is prototyping important in the design process?

• Prototyping helps in visualizing ideas, gathering feedback, testing functionality, and iterating quickly before finalizing the product.

• Prototyping slows down the design process

• Prototyping has no impact on the final product

• Prototyping is only useful for large companies

What is the difference between low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes?

• Low-fidelity prototypes are more expensive than high-fidelity ones.

• Low-fidelity prototypes are basic representations for concept validation, while high-fidelity prototypes closely resemble the final product with detailed visuals and interactions.

• High-fidelity prototypes are used for initial concept validation.

• Low-fidelity prototypes have more detailed visuals than high-fidelity ones.

How can prototyping help in identifying design flaws?

• Prototyping helps in identifying design flaws by limiting creativity.

• Prototyping helps in identifying design flaws by allowing for testing and evaluation of the product's functionality and usability in a preliminary stage.

• Prototyping helps in identifying design flaws by skipping user feedback.

• Prototyping helps in identifying design flaws by increasing production costs.

Explain the concept of iteration in the prototyping phase.

• Creating only one version of the prototype

• Creating multiple versions of the prototype, gathering feedback, making improvements, and repeating the process until the final prototype is satisfactory.

• Ignoring user input and suggestions

• Releasing the prototype without any feedback

What are some common tools used for creating prototypes?

• Wireframing tools like Sketch, Adobe XD, and Figma; Prototyping tools like InVision and Marvel

• Cooking utensils

• Hammer and nails

• Paint and brush

How can feedback from prototypes be used to improve the final design?

• Ignoring feedback and proceeding with the initial design

• By analyzing feedback to pinpoint weaknesses and strengths, making necessary adjustments to enhance usability, functionality, and overall user experience.

• Implementing all feedback without analysis

• Disregarding user opinions and preferences

What role does user testing play in the prototyping phase?

• User testing in the prototyping phase is not necessary

• User testing in the prototyping phase helps gather feedback from real users to identify any usability issues, validate design choices, and make necessary improvements before moving forward with development.

• User testing in the prototyping phase only focuses on aesthetics

• User testing in the prototyping phase is done after development

Why is it important to involve stakeholders in the prototyping process?

• It ensures that the final product meets stakeholders' needs and expectations, identifies issues early, and reduces the risk of costly changes.

• It increases the cost of production

• It delays the prototyping process

• It confuses the design team
