Lauko, Matej ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (referee)
The theme of this bachelor thesis is prototyping, which is a part of the user interface design of web applications. The objective is to describe the options and reasons for prototyping as well as describe the prototyping process and its outcomes, compare selected tools from the prototyping tools available on market and select one that meets the author's criteria the best. The last objective is to create a digital prototype demonstration. The main contribution is the evaluation of the selected tools for prototyping and comparison that can be helpful when deciding which application to purchase. Another contribution of this thesis is the creation of an overview in the field of prototyping and design of user interfaces and also describing the creation of example prototype. In the introductory part is a description of a user interface and web applications, since this thesis is precisely focused on user interface design of web applications. Following is a description of a user interface design process, user experience and its part usability, because of which prototyping is necessary. The next chapter explains what is a prototype and prototyping, and reasons for prototyping are described. Further in thesis a prototyping process is stated witch different approaches to this process. This chapter also describes various characteristics of the prototype and two types of prototypes, paper and digital. The next chapter is devoted to the comparison of selected prototyping tools. After setting out a method of comparison and formulating criteria for comparison a description of selected tools according to selected criteria and determination of their rank follows. Finally, the winning tool is selected the whole comparison is evaluated. In the last chapter a practical demonstration of process and outcome of creating digital prototype is shown.
