Being pragmatic
Hype is a very powerful prototyping tool. It allows you to create all kinds of prototypes. However, the process of creating a prototype for a real project is not always a clear path. You cannot anticipate all the necessary steps in advance, and some changes are expected in the process. In this section, you'll find some advice to help you navigate the process of prototyping with Hype more fluently.
Organize your layers
Before you start your prototype, it is useful to spend some time planning how the different layers will work together. You'll need to break your mock-ups into different layers depending on which parts you need to manipulate. Sketching the basic interactions will help you to determine which pieces you need.
When building your prototype, it is also important to keep the different layers organized. Prototyping with Hype normally involves moving different layers around--even out of the current canvas--and changing properties, such as their opacity. This makes it hard...
