I’m not a good artist, but over the last couple of years I’ve started sketching to help me work out ideas, present them to stakeholders, and communicate them to developers.
A presenter at a TK11 session (sorry, I forgot which one) mentioned sketching as a tool for instructional design around the same time I ran across the below article… And as Special Agent Cooper tells us, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.
Three things about sketching:
Sketching User Experiences – the book that started me sketching; a must-read
Sketching: the Visual Thinking Power Tool – a great article on how and why to sketch; includes a list of tools
Bamboo Pen & Touch – my coolest Xmas present this year, moving me into the electronic age of sketching
Do you sketch, either for instructional design purposes or otherwise? Why?
