Mock-ups
Mock-ups are used by designers mainly to acquire feedback from users about
designs and design ideas early in the design process. Mock-ups are ‘very early
prototypes’ made of cardboard or otherwise low-fidelity materials. The user,
aided by the designer, may test the mock-up (imagining that it works) and thus
provide valuable feedback about functionality/usability/understanding of the
basic design idea/etc.
The advantages of mock-ups (and prototypes) are numerous. For example:
- Mock-ups incite criticism from users because they are low-cost (can be
made of cardboard) and low-fidelity. If a user is presented with an early
version of a system that has required substantial work, he/she is likely to be
more reluctant (as well as able) to critise it.
- When using mock-ups of cardboard or similar materials, the user and
designer can collectively change the design using familiar tools such as pens,
scissors etc. As such, mock-ups are a discussion medium and a discussion
facilitator between designer and user.
- Not only can the mock-up function as a discussion medium between designer
and user but also between the members of the design team. Thus, mock-ups may
help facilitate work across disciplinary borders, bringing together a
disparate team.
- Mock-ups make it possible to do usability testing early in the development
process.
- Mock-ups incite and legalise experimentation as they are inexpensive to
alter.
- Mockups focus on content and functionality and turn attention away from
details of graphic design.
