- Sketch this out
My stencil is alive at graffletopia. Download
This stencil contains reusable shapes and elements for sketching wireframes or wireframing sketches whatever you prefer. This was done after realising that the sketch tools out there where quite closed in the elements they have and also its quite difficult to share your sketches digitally. You probably know what […]
- Low-fidelity prototyping
Prototyping is at the core of Interaction Design practice from ideation to the final product. Even though prototypes can be a long way from the intended look and feel they are relevant to the design process for many different reasons. They provide means to learn from the problem, weigh solutions, gather information, evaluate designs, originate […]

- Paper sound prototype
Paper prototype, originally uploaded by dpereira.

What is at stake here is something fundamental to the way we see innovation, design and creativity and the way we organise our economy around them. We are moving from an era of mass production to one of […]
- The designer’s role in the public sector
Ann Crawley is RSA Design Directions programme manager. In the last RSA eJournal she wrote the article Model behaviour.
For many, though, design is still understood as a discipline that creates the visible and the tangible — things and spaces that can be used, consumed and experienced — and such ambitions challenge the general perception […]
- Closer to manufacture
A new step to make smoother the realization of digital products directly from the designers hands: “Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product.” In other words it will means going from fast prototyping with breadboard to the product PCB layout.
