Visual Note-Taking experience (Ironhack)
Hi there! This is about the experience learning to sketch! i’m a graphic designer, a lot of people thinks that as a graphic designer i should be a great draftsgirl! be prepared because i am not!
This is an exercise that we (the students) have to do in the context of the course Ironhack is giving, starting next week: UX/UI Design Bootcamp!
I am going to be telling stories and relating the exercises and learnings from this experience! so join me in this adventure!
This first exercise (Learning to soften hand and mind)
Drawing and putting ideas in words and simple shapes, really quick only with paper and a marker! I have to say it was really! fun, even liberator! i usually do this but with my own ideas and really really simple to make sure that when i am going to design, everything is going to fit and to be sure that there is coherence in the elements, but it was most of all squares ! This was a little more challenging! (I drew for example a human finger, bubble and a world, please try to see it, make your best effort)
So! first here is the video, really interesting by the way, not only the experience, but listening to this woman with all her experience, yeahp, a delight! :

My challenge was to write this main ideas while she was talking and this is the result:
Told you! not a good hand! but i really enjoyed doing this, i think this technic can be useful for everybody, whatever activity you do in your life, The more you practice, the better and easier it will be to express ideas in this way!
Waiting for the next challenge and to keep drawing, really, is therapeutic.
