Describe the difference between conceptual design (a conceptual model) and physical design (a physical model).

Set book 11 - summary
Describe one major difference between high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototyping.
One major difference between high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototyping is that in the latter you’re designing, while in the former you’re programming. When you’re designing, you need the freedom to generate and consider alternative designs, and high-fidelity prototyping environments often constrain design creativity.
