Let’s begin with
some context…

1. a global, open source project
2. a community of thousands of creators
3. a mission-oriented organization
4. a public benefit company
5. the maker of Firefox & Thunderbird

“Laboratories are where science and creativity meet to
develop, research, and explore new ideas.

Mozilla Labs embraces this great tradition - a virtual lab

where people come together to create, experiment, and
play with new Web innovations and technologies.”

From lots of ideas come many mockups
From many mockups come some prototypes
From a some prototypes come a few products

Step 1:
Idea
It all begins with an idea. A sentence,
paragraph, or even bullet-points kick-start the
process. Ideas can be simple and non-technical.
It should be easy for anyone and everyone to
help shape the future of the Web. So throw
your notions, inspirations, dreams and visions
out to the community.

15
Step 2:
Mockup
Turn your idea (or someone else’s) into an
image, sketch or video. Words are great, but
you know what they say about pictures.
Mockups offer up a visual and communicate
ideas in terms that are just a bit more polished
and real. They draw the next person in,
tempting them to pick up the concept and run
with it.
16
Step 2:
Mockup
Mockups can be anything from a napkin
drawing to a polished Photoshop mockup to a
video.

17
Step 3:
Prototype
A prototype is interactive. Feel, touch and play
with developing concepts. Prototypes get ideas
across by showing off the moving parts. They
aren’t always fully functional or pretty, but
they’re more than a static image or two.
They’re a dress rehearsal of sorts, with minimal
programming. Make a prototype in HTML,
Flash, or whatever puts things into action.
