The Prototyper’s Manifesto
The Cult of Prototyping
I prototype, therefore I am.
“The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars.”
- 01
A prototype is an answer to a question. No question, no prototype.
- 02
Prototype first to learn, second to prove.
- 03
Build ten wrong things to find the one that isn't.
- 04
Fall in love with finding out.
- 05
Taste is what survives your own bad prototypes.
- 06
To prototype is to think; prototyping is thinking.
- 07
Quantity creates quality.
- 08
The only thing stopping you from prototyping is the fear of finding out.
- 09
Even the shittiest idea deserves to be prototyped.
- 10
“Fears about prototyping fall into two families: fears about yourself and fears about your reception by others.”
