WHEN AND WHERE TO SKETCH YOUR IDEA
An idea can pop up anytime and anyplace. I personally always carry a small notebook and a crayon in my purse. I often get ideas while riding the bus home from work. Whether you’re at home, at work or on vacation, if you are inspired by something and get a fabulous idea (that’s how you’ll see it at the moment), just grab a piece of paper and sketch it – it will only take a minute or so! That’s in the case you get unexpected inspiration. In order to be creative you have to be relaxed and positive. So if you are feeling over stressed, go do something you like, relax for 15 minutes and come back with a clear mind.
Once you’ve written that idea somewhere and you marked it as “to do this week” or you’ve given it a determined period to be processed, you can get it out of your head. You might not know,but it’s much easier to concentrate on your current tasks and to get them done, if you don’t have 20 ideas running through your head.
The information in this article refers mainly to a design process, but you will see that you can apply these tips on other situations as well.
As a designer and a creative professional, you have lots of ideas. You need to take those ideas to the next level. In this case, the next level is to put your ideas on paper. So you need to elaborate sketches. This doesn’t mean that you must have really good drawing skills – you will create rough sketches, which are quick and cheap.
Another purpose of drawing your ideas is to make them visible. Having a sketch enables you to discuss your idea with others, to compare your sketch and to get feedback. This is not such a time consuming activity, in comparison to creating the rough design on your computer. You can do as many sketches as you want. Experiment!
THE PURPOSE OF SKETCHING YOUR IDEA
The purpose of sketching your ideas is to help you explore as many ideas as possible in order to trash the bad ones, leaving you with a couple of good ideas that could evolve in a solid design.

HAVING AN IDEA IS NOT ENOUGH
We all have tons of ideas. Actually, we get new ideas every day. The problem is that most of us don’t know what to do with them – and a lot of our ideas get lost along the way, we simply forget them. Having an idea is just not enough. You need to make that idea happen. You need to pick the right idea from 100 ideas, shape it and develop it. I’ve discovered that the best way to stop losing ideas is to write them down. I personally have an agenda, but you can use whatever: a piece of paper, a Qost-it, a notebook, a Word document or whatever comes in handy for you.
