Sketching: Ideas, and Communicating them
Ideation
Quick ball point sketches or a well executed pencil drawing are a great first glimpse at what an idea could look like or to just note down an interaction or function. Adding a little colour can make it stand out and spring to life.
Functional Drawing
Be it a technical explosion to explain an assembly, a functional resolution to indicate a mechanism or a story board to showcase a usage scenario functional drawings are great for bringing across a products intent.
Marker Rendering
The so called ‘Hero’ is a great way to make a convincing case for the appeal of a product concept. It captures the form as a whole, points out details and has the flair of a hand made drawing.
Graphics: Keeping it simple, functional and well integrated.
Aso: Brand Book
Turning a product into a brand: What is the person buying my product like? Where are they from? Bringing the company to the user, holistically from the font and colours to the website and packaging.
