All you really need is some cardboard
Featuring prototype specialists Sabroe & Elmkvist
The most important job of the designer is getting the details right. But all too often, we get the details right but the product wrong. As designers, we need to find the time to start our projects off right by rapidly exploring different solutions. With the confidence of the right solution, we can spend our time perfecting the details where it has an impact.
In this workshop, Michael will take you through the rapid prototyping framework used at B&O which you will then apply in teams. You will prototype several versions of your own sound concept from simple cardboard material and test it with other users until you find the right design. Michael will be joined by the prototype specialist from Sabroe & Elmkvist that will help everyone with tips and tricks for building your own prototypes. After the workshop, you will be able to apply this fast prototyping approach to your own digital and physical projects.
