A fundamental tool of design, used to document observations, creatively ideate, and visually communicate
- Drawings occur as a natural function of sketching observations, thoughts, and ideas; concept drawings and renderings; explanatory maps and diagrams; and technical drawings. Drawing can be used to examine, explore, and explain.
- – Examining: Examining observable phenomena and documenting it through drawing can help inspire a thoughtful understanding of the world.
- – Exploring: The use of drawing as an exploratory tool references the creative act of iterative ideation, or the generation of multiple concepts through progressive sketching and design development.
- – Explaining: Explaining uses drawing as an effective communication tool, conveying ideas to others on the design team, or to clients, users, or stakeholders. Early sketches and concept drawings can be used to convey work in progress. Drawings or storyboards conveying concept scenarios can be used to stimulate discussion and collect feedback.
