techniques from graphic design. User interface designers often explore interface ideas
through coded prototypes, which do not facilitate quick turnaround and require a complete
interface definition. This method of prototyping is too detailed and laborious to appropriately
facilitate early design decisions, such as brainstorming about the task the interface will
support.
