ABOUT THIS CLASS
If you're new to prototyping or wireframing then this class is for you.


In this hands-on 3 hour workshop students will be exposed to the skills necessary to create great wireframes and prototypes to get them in front of users as quickly as possible.


Students will learn how to make wireframes and add interactivity to them. They will start with a production ready design to understand the foundation of the wireframe. Then add interactive functions to the wireframe to provide a more realistic interpretation of the design intent.


The fundamentals covered in this class also prove useful for dealing with developers and agile teams.


TAKEAWAYS
• An overview of wireframing technics available in Axure and why we make wireframes
• An understanding of why we make prototypes and what outcomes we're looking for
• How to use the powerful interactions available with Axure to make your wireframe functional so that you can tell a compelling story with your design
• A chance to try out the responsive functions available with Axure
• How to publish your design using Axure’s cloud server AxShare
• A list of valuable reference material


PREREQS & PREPARATION
• Axure 8 installed
• A mouse is highly desirable as Axure requires many right click actions
• A 15 inch laptop at a minimum is highly desirable as Axure requires a larger amount of visual space for optimal usability

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
David Evans – Associate Director of UX, VistaPrint


David Evans is a working UX designer, currently employed at Vistaprint. He started using Axure in 2008, and has been using it professionally ever since. Prototypes can range from simple interactive wireframes to very complex interactions and visuals that work and look just like the final product. These prototypes assist the UX team with communications to senior leaders, engineering, and other stake holders. Working prototypes provide powerful models for user testing. David loves to help other designers increase their knowledge of Axure, and does so at every opportunity.
