(You are free to use and adopt this slide to conduct your own sketching workshop)
This deck was presented in Product Design sharing session at Traveloka. In this session I gave a workshop and explained benefits of sketching in design process. I was helped by facilitators from interaction design team members.
I am a big fan of Bill Buxton and very happy to spread some of his perspective to the product design team.
7. Sketching User Experiences: The Workbook (http://sketchbook.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/)
You have a design idea, you see the
top of the hill as the best possible
design for the idea
Then, you iterate and develop it.
But is it the best idea?
9. Sketching User Experiences: The Workbook (http://sketchbook.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/)
Is it the best idea? Have you explored
the other hills before design and
iterate on the idea?
How can we avoid a local maxima?
Take a step back, see the landscape,
and think holistically to understand the
problem.
11. Sketching User Experiences: The Workbook (http://sketchbook.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/)
- Generate many ideas and variations
- Reflect on all ideas
- Develop them in parallel
- Add new ideas “on the go”
- THEN, iterate your final choice
16. Exploratory
Lots of ideas, rough & varied, need to
draw up 6 or so.
Can use a word list to pick new ideas,
or an inspiration library of design
artifacts, or conceptual models like
spectrum, 2x2, or grids.

18. Refinement
Fewer, better ideas with a higher level
of fidelity.
Can use shading to imply importance
and call-outs to explain elements on
the sketch.

Lots of Ideas
The key to generating many ideas is
to withhold judgment of them as
good or bad until your sketching
session is complete.

Lots of Alternatives
Sketches help filter out “rabbit hole”
ideas—concepts that are impossible
to produce or impractical to deliver
on. Drawing out ideas works as an
early detection system—revealing
potential issues before significant
time is invested.

Foster Discussions
Because sketches are unfinished
and loose, they invite commentary.

28. It's not about being a good artist,
it's about being a good thinker.
30. Whywesketch?
A good sketch, even when done
quickly, can be a powerful tool for the
designer.
to communicate ideas
to record what we're seeing and
hearing
to work through some thinking
to reflect what we're hearing
to document.

31. A rough idea deserves a rough-
looking sketch,
while a well-thought-through
idea warrants finely drawn,
detailed imagery.
