Why is it important to build a prototype?

• Work out any design problems

• To cause extra work and frustration

• To add unnecessary steps in design process

• To tire you guys out

It is important when brainstorming to:

• Limit your ideas to what is "real"
• Come up with as many ideas as possible
• Gravitate to a few ideas
• Keep it brief in time

In the design world, limitations are known as:

• Constraints
• Criteria
• Iterations
• Data

If your initial design doesn't fully solve the problem or meet the challenge, you must go back and revise your design. This is part of which step in the Design Process?

• Construct a Prototype
• Redesign
• Identify the Need
• Develop Possible Solutions
