Creating an Aura of Inevitability
Building a strong prototype is essential for translating design concepts into production realities. A notable example discussed is Vincent's experience at Figma, where initial ideas for a text search feature lacked buy-in until a working prototype was developed. This tangible demonstration effectively showcased the functionality of selection search, image search, and text search, making it difficult for stakeholders to dismiss the concept. Prototyping provides designers with the leverage needed to bypass skepticism and generate enthusiasm around their ideas.
