Desktop GUI prototyping tools...

Hi

Any recommendations on GUI prototyping tools specially for desktop
application prototyping. I could find a good list at
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?GuiPrototypingTools and am looking at any feedback
on the ones listed or maybe a new tool not listed there but somebody has
used and strongly recommends.

The need is to capture the paper prototypes into higher fidelity prototypes
that can be tested and reviewed before getting commited for actually coding.

Thanks
Pankaj

Don Norman on ACD at Apple?

Don Norman in Business Week earlier this month re-framing Apple's
design process as what sounds a little like activity centered design.
It's just a brief quote in a much longer article:

> Apple's approach isn't about targeting hipsters, says Donald A.

IxD translation ?

Hi,

I've realised that it's not consensual the usage of Interaction Design
in English in all languages, for example in the translations of the
First Principles from Bruce Tognazzini (
http://www.asktog.com/basics/firstPrinciples.html) the translation it's not
made in German and Italian language, but in Polish, Spanish, and Dutch,
Interaction Design as a title, it's translated.

>From the IxDA point of view what's the most correct?

Best regards
Pedro Soares Neves

Defining UCD

Good thought - let's move forward.

User Centered Design (UCD) is an approach to the design process that
emphasizes adding value to the end user as more important than the
inclusion of specific technologies, monetization or other motivations.

Hammer away...

design process - and my role

I am going to hijack this tangent from the UCD discussion for the
moment.

Lots of designers fight their changing roles. From the independent
role where I get to decide everything that is 'design' to a
management role where I shepherd great work, or to a collaborative
environment with shared design responsibility - change is hard.
Design by committee is a much maligned notion, but a collaborate
group of designers with a single vision is extraordinarily powerful.
