Why designers prototype?
To me, design is a method to change human behavior in a good way. Designers are looking for solutions for every paint points that we as users are dealing with, and improving human life as it become more and more convenience. In the design process, users’ behaviors would be influenced by the new methods that was designed to reach their goals. One major difference in a design perspective that keep pushing designers to develop more ideals is that there is no “best” in design; There always will be a better solution appears after. Step into the design world for me is to have the opportunity to interact and understand the thoughts in different groups and determine the “best” way to provide their needs.
the following image is how design process look like in my head
When I first discover an idea, it feels water drops in color, after getting on the research and design process, water drop would from into a incomplete circle. To me, this is where design prototype take place, designers keep testing and refine to allow the final solution is capable for the market. After refine the design solution, the idea would become a complete circle, but it is not permanent; a design solution can never be perfect and can always be improve.
