What is ‘visual thinking?’

The transformation of verbal/auditory, text-based information into a meaningful visual display.

I am a visual thinker.

Visual thinking is the use of visualization for learning and communication.

First, find someone you don’t know and interview them:

1. What’s your name and where did you grow up?

2. Name one thing you enjoy about your present work.

3. How do you feel about drawing?

Group Play

1. Each person take 30 seconds to describe a topic, challenge, or method related to IxD.

2. As a group, choose content to visualize.

3. Have AT LEAST ONE illustrator draw the elements of the topic using basic shapes (or more if you feel comfortable).
