Introducing Design Principles

Abstract

In Chapter l, you began with conversation narratives, user analysis data, and requirements specifications. You then transformed the resulting information into descriptive words that led to basic conceptual shapes and initial sketches. In this chapter, you’ll analyze the initial sketches and incorporate desgign principles for bringing the sketches and incorporate design principles for bringing the sketch one step closer to a prototype.

Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.
