Outline: Sketching vocabulary: best practices • Simplicity is key: try to simplify sketched objects to the minimum necessary detail • Icons can be a good source of inspiration for simple shapes representing objects • 3D is not necessary (most of the time) • Sketch with fast, long strokes • Sketching vocabularies are your basic toolset for sketching • Simplicity is key • People’s postures and emotions can be expressed through simple line sketches • Learning a basic sketching vocabulary lets you sketch more efficiently more than just drawings • textual annotations are spatially relevant • arrows have illustrative power • textual notes are stand-alone Templates • capture fixed parts of your interface • leave white space for drawings, annotations & notes Template can be • drawn from scratch or • based on photos of existing interfaces or • based on traces over existing interfaces • Used in digital or paper form • Rapidly reused and built upon via layers
