Functional Visual Form study Proof of
principle
- 9. Why
1. Uncertainty as to the performance of the
new design/product
2. Unexpected problems associated with new
products
3. Explore design alternatives
4. Test theories (customer centric) and confirm
performance (Efficiency/Results Centric)
- 10. Prototyping Cycle
Design
Convert the users’ description of the solution into mock-ups
Review
Share with users and evaluate whether it meets their needs and
expectations.
Refine
Based on feedback, identify areas that need to be refined, further
defined and clarified.
