This is one of the best courses on Creating prototypes, comprehensive and extremely useful if your serious about the usability of your product. Cutting out & glueing paper prototypes is not dumb. You’ll notice a hell of allot more starting from a paper prototype & ultimately a better product and generate far more ideas than without. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also paper prototypes are shown as only the 2nd stage after sketching the 3rd part shows you how to produce Low-Fidelity prototypes in Adobe Fireworks that you can then export as html to produce clickable prototypes, that can be easily distributed for testing.

This was made in 2013. So much has changed since then. Now we have sketch. Invision. And webflow. Amen.

Great ideas! Having those elements handy keeps the user test moving forward, with minimal wait times to create new elements/correct issues. Gives the ability to work on the fly. Time is money.

I would rather use a wireframing app like Axure to do this and share thoughts with colleagues without wasting too much time. Maybe you can take printouts and write comments on them.

Low production but high impact. Very insightful

Paper prototyping seems fun, but I think Powerpoint prototyping is as cheap, flexible, easy and as quickly done as paper prototyping. All the materials you need to create a paper prototype might not already be in hand so you might end up spending some money just to buy tracing paper, index cards, re-stickable tapes, and sticky notes. Hell, you might even run out of paper. It takes so much time just to prepare the elements you'll possibly need for your prototype before you can even start building it. However despite all the negativity I've mentioned, I think paper prototypes are appropriate for testing out new gadgets or machines that are similar to ATMs, cash deposit machines, and etc. Projects that uses a lot of animations and effects are probably better to use digital prototypes instead.

"A really good job for your intern"? Not cool.

This is dumb. You could do this in 1/10 the time with photoshop, then print it out if you want to hold it. Interns don't sign up to do things a second grader can do. They go to college for freak's sake.
