Sketching, else whereWe sit around, stand around those tables and we draw. We still draw. We would draw and we would make lots of models. - Jonathan Ive

Sketching isntDifficult

Drawing

Only for designers

Sketching, else whereThere are techniques and processes whereby we can put experience front and centre in design. My belief is that the basis for doing so lies in extending the traditional practice of sketching. -Bill Buxton

Attribute of a SketchQuick

Disposable

Plentiful

Minimal details

Appropriate degree of refinement

Suggest & explore rather than confirm

Sketching: Basic Shapes

Sketching Techniques : Combine the basic shapes

Sketching Techniques: Line Thickness

Increasing the weight of the lines to give emphasis to parts of the design.

Sketching Techniques: Size

Draw attention to parts of your sketch by drawing elements with varying size.

Sketching Techniques: Shading

Shading an area can draw attention away from it. De-emphasize part of the sketch.

Sketching Techniques: Selective Detail

To save time, just fill in details for the important bits. Shows whats important.

Sketching Techniques: Isolation

Only sketch certain areas leaving the rest fuzzy.

Sketching Techniques: Depth

Use shading to add depth and perspective to make clickable widgets

Sketching Techniques: Notes

Dont hesitate to mix text with your sketches to explain whats going on

Collaborative SketchingRooted in Design Studio Methodology

Grew out of industrial design and architecture

Jim Ungar, Jeff White, Will Evans, Todd Zaki Warfel, many others

Why Collaborative Sketching workshopCommunicate ideas effectivity

Capture assumptions

Bring out differences in ideas/thoughts/vision

Move faster

Generate more ideas, refine faster

Diversity of experience and expertise

ProcessSetup and ice breaker exercise

Sketch

Iterate on sketches and share for a complete circle

Vote to PrioritizeDiscuss and add notes

Repeat one more round of Sketch (Optional)

Process : Setup and Ice breakerSet agenda/purpose

Bring use cases/user stories/insights/personas/usability test results

You are defining the problem, not giving solutionsWhat is the purpose? In scope/out of scopeWhat features are necessary? In what priority?Who is the audience?

Team doing sketching for the first time?Ice Breaker Exercise

Process : SketchSketch silentlyLimit the time 5/15 minsSketch as much as possible, as many different ideas as possibleDont worry about mistakes or straight linesEmphasis on quantity over quality

Process : ShareGive your sketches to the person sitting next to you

Review the sketches silentlyDo you see something interesting?

Process : Iterate SketchesStart sketching againMaybe you have a new ideaMaybe you want to build up on an ideaMaybe there is something that can be done better

Repeat sketching and sharing until one full round

Process: Vote to prioritizePut up all the sketches on a wall/pin board

Let everyone review the sketches silently

Vote : dot voting, limit votes

Process: Discuss and add notesStart discussing trendsIs there a clear winner?Are there multiple directions/different solutions?Are there ideas that did not get voted up but have potential?

Add notes to the sketches using post-its

Exercise time again
