More Than Pen Meets Paper

 

Have you heard of ‘Sketchnoting,’ ‘Visual Note-taking’ or ‘Graphic Recording’? You may or may not have, either way in this article we will discuss how we use it and how we framed a workshop around it at the IDC 2018 (International Design Conference 2018) in New Orleans. We (Teddy Lu, IDSA, and Verena Paepcke-Hjeltness, IDSA) are educators who are using sketchnoting in the classroom, which we discussed in a paper called Design for Visual Empowerment.

IDSA-MI SMALL BUSINESS SERIES: DESIGN THINKING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES & NONPROFITS

Design Thinking is hot. Some may even say it is a fad. It even has different names like Customer-Centric Design or User eXperience (UX). But there is no denying that Design Thinking should be at the core of how a product, process or service is developed. It involves placing the user at the center of the problem-solving process to ensure meaningful, makable and marketable solutions.
