Over the past week I have been developing ideas for a personal project so I can continue to expand and grow as a designer. My first round of sketches were merely expressing and visually describing my idea. So what is next? Since it’s just for me (and to share with you, of course), I understand what my rough scribbles express. But I could not go to a client with how they look now, so I must honor the process and refine my concepts.
The real magic with iterative sketching is the additional ideas and troubleshooting that happens naturally. Within the span of 10 minutes, I was able to simplify visually, which gave me some guidance on, not only how I wanted to represent the concept but how I would slowly show complexity over time. Deciding what to show clients is a critical part of what we do, and finding it through sketching is a genuinely effective way to expose importance.
