Q4. Prototypes Completing

15. Design Thinking

COMPLETING THIS QUEST

In this Quest, you created a prototype (an object, a media element, a visual, a presentation) to test your idea and convey it to others. You have completed this Quest when you have:

  • researched and cited sources for inspiration for their design
  • created a prototype to convey key features of their design
  • selected appropriate resources for creating a prototype
