Paper Prototype

Paper Prototype is a simple tool in UX Design where designers use paper to create models of screens or interfaces. These models help designers see how users might interact with a product before building anything digital. Designers can draw buttons, menus, and other elements on paper, then move pieces around to show different actions. This method helps teams spot problems or new ideas early in the design process. Paper prototypes make it easy to test ideas with real users and get feedback quickly, saving time and resources before moving to more complex stages.
