Why should we be kind to designers of the past?
(a) Designers of the past did not have access to the internet, thus limiting their abilities to understand other
cultures.
(b) Designers of the past weren’t as creative or intelligent as designers of today.
(c) Designers of the past may not have had access to the same resources or technology that we have today.
(d) Since trends tend to be cyclical, the aesthetic choices made by designers of the past will come back into
fashion.
(e) Even though their designs might be out of style, they still look aesthetically pleasing.
A - Did not have access to the internet, limiting their abilities

Assumptions, our design/design of an interface
Does a prototype need to be a physical thing?
NO
It can be as simple as a use case
True or False?

USE THE ________________ OF THE USER
ALLOW FOR ____________ REFINEMENT
HELP THE DESIGN TEAM ________________________

NOT AS EASY TO CHANGE/UPDATE
CAN ALSO INVITE USERS/CLIENT TO BE CO-DESIGNERS*
ABOUT THE PROCESS BUT ALSO THE “PRETTY”
