- Upload the Figma file on Github, labeled as follows: “Name_FirstName_DeliverableName_Date_VersionNumber”. For example, it can be labeled as “Doe_John_MidFiPrototype_05242024_V1”.
- Add a title within the file.
**Deliverable:**
- An animated Mid-Fi prototype on Figma.

## Test Wireframe
## Prototyping
### Instructions
Test your wireframe prototype with 5 different people and write down the 5 main iterations that need to be made on the next version.
Give another dimension to your user flow and turn your user flow into a paper prototype (6 to 12 screens max).
This exercise is to be made individually.
First, draw low-fidelity prototypes on paper. One main screen = 1 mobile frame.
Then, draw your mid-fidelity screens on Figma with simple shapes, in black and white.

## Third Prototyping
## Animation
### Instructions
Give another dimension to your user flow and turn your user flow into a paper prototype (6 to 12 screens max).
Animate your wireframes on Figma.
First, draw low-fidelity prototypes on paper. One main screen = 1 mobile frame.
Think about multistate!!
Then, draw your mid-fidelity screens on Figma with simple shapes, in black and white.
This exercise is to be made individually.
- Upload the Figma file on Github, labeled as follows: “Name_FirstName_DeliverableName_Date_VersionNumber”. For example, it can be labeled as “Doe_John_MidFiPrototype_05242024_V1”.
- Add a title within the file.
