Abstract
This pictorial focuses on the role prototyping played within the author’s latest research on tangible narratives exemplified in the design case of [Project’s title removed for review]. The pictorial illustrates the ongoing process of prototyping this design case. It discusses the challenges and insights gained from it, among them, the importance of accounting ergonomic principles when prototyping artefacts, embracing the physical properties of working materials during the prototyping process, considering the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on technical knowledge, and the importance of compartmentalizing and prioritizing during the ideation process. Finally, the pictorial concludes with an analisis on the role played by the action of prototyping and the importance of the continuous dialogue between the designer/researcher and the artefacts created.
