What is paper prototyping?

Paper prototyping is simply planning the design and usability of an app. The sketches show different screens that the user will see while using the app.

Paper prototypes, in their most simple form, are drawings of the user interfaces (or screens) you plan to have in your app.

How are they useful?

The benefits of paper prototyping include finding issues before investing in the digitized and fully formed version, allows the designers to create a fully formed idea, it’s used as a roadmap to figure out the flow of the interface, it removes the technical barriers like coding and programming. Additionally, paper prototyping can be brought to anyone within the design process, even future users to test how the functionality would work during user testing. Feedback during the initial stages of creating an app is crucial to receive.

What does low-fidelity mean?

Low-fidelity means that there wasn’t a lot of detail put into the sketches, other than the general idea of the flow and design. Nitty-gritty details are left out until later on.
