Sketching
Why?
Explore and communicate forms and ideas.
How?
Take a pen and a piece of paper, a notebook, or a digital tool and draw your ideas. When you visualize your ideas, you start to encounter design challenges that are a starting point for more research. The resulting sketches can be used to discuss and develop ideas together with colleagues and stakeholders.
Ingrediënts
- Hand drawing tools, analogue or digital: pen, pencil, paper.
- A willingness to make many sketches and variants of an idea.
- A good eye for new ideas that your sketch brings and a critical eye for what can be improved.
In practice
For many designers sketching is a continuous day-to-day activity.
