Sketching is the new black : inspirations from the analog world
As I talk about in the essay The Joy of Sketch, there’s a lot of activity at Adaptive Path around analog visual methods. Below are some of the inspirations we’ve found helpful in exploring different approaches.
1) Hand Sketching for drawing people, places & things
We’re inspired by:
- Mark Baskinger, and his article in Interactions Magazine
- Rapid Viz : A New Method for the Rapid Visualization of Ideas by Kurt Hanks and Larry Belliston
- Thinking with a Pencil by Henning Nelms
- The Art of Field Sketching by Clare Walker Leslie
2) Hand Sketching for drawing abstract concepts & ideas
We’re inspired by:
- Dan Roam’s site for The Back of the Napkin
- Indexed: Clarity and humor bundled into insightful and simple diagrams
- The VizThink conference
- The Periodic Table of Visualization Methods (an oldie but a goodie)
3) Graphic recording and Graphic facilitation
We’re inspired by:
We’re inspired by:
- The Mind Mapping Book by Tony Buzan
- A selection of mind maps from Tony Buzan
- Mind maps on Flickr
5) Sketchnoting
We’re inspired by:
- Mike Rhode, well-known for his SxSW sketchnotes, and his thoughts on the practice
- Everyday matters by Danny Gregory
- Sketchnotes on Flickr
And if you’re in the back-to-school mood yourself, check out David Gray’s web-based Visual Thinking School.
