Design Thinking & Design Operations are two sides of one coin.

2B pencil. Page from morning creative planning begins to meander a bit. :-)

 

viz thinkers/mappers: How far down the rabbit hole do we want to go?

Sketchnotes for Deandra Little and Chad Berry's talk on teaching with visuals across the curriculum at Carleton College's Visual Learning conference on September 29, 2012.

Here's a typical arrangement of pieces. as placed and arrowed by students. Some of their arrows go both forward and backward, and the whole point of this 'first draft' was to get them to begin thinking in terms of time moving in an orderly direction, past to future.

Day 18 of 100 Days Envizualized.

 

I made these characters by playing around with using simple shapes.

  

This image is part of 100 Days Envizualized, a project where I upload visual notes that I create on 100 consecutive days. To check out the other notes, go here

 

An eBook will be available of all 100 days worth of notes, with annotation, once the 100 days are over.

   

Recently had the pleasure of doing a whiteboard session with Devon Segel, founder of shareURmeal.com. This is one of the whiteboards.

 

As we were in mid meeting, a photographer from Philadelphia Magazine walked in and took a few pictures. The magazine is doing a story on Independents Hall, the coworking space where Devon I met up.

Design Thinking is holistic thinking.

Update: I did this drawing in my reporter-style Moleskine sketchbook, which I use in a landscape format. Just so that's clear....

 

Using Dave Gray (Dgray_Xplane) and his three-element approach to process and visual thinking (at left in this drawing), I've been thinking about using timelines on 45" or 48" high paper scrolls to create frameworks of interrelationships and cause-and-effects.

 

Dave uses objects (post-it notes, index cards, string, cards, etc) in frameworks (journeys, cycles, systems, scales, staircases) with drawings (stick figures, simple shapes, drawings-at-a-distance) to help businesses process ideas into graphics that convey complex information simply.

 

In like fashion, I can use objects (the same set) in frameworks (the same set) with drawings the kids do (the same set as I teach them) to show how events lead by cause and effect to new events; how those events affect people's decisions in the future.

 

Different notecard colors can be different people: yellow for cultural figures; blue for science; red for military/political; green for tribes/nationalities (i.e., FRENCH, BRITISH, etc). I can layer index cards (yellow index card on green indicates a British writer like Shakespeare; red index card on green indicates a French diplomat like Tallyrand). White notecards can be events. Post-It flags can be used for marking elements that are likely to be on the tests & quizzes. Kids sign and date notecards, to show when they understood specific elements. Draw arrows and cycles and systems directly onto backing paper. Use tape, embroidery floss, sewing needles and small magnets to connect ideas to each other.

 

Each class will do their own, but from time to time pull out another class's timeline/map so that each class can see that "their way is not the only way."

Design Thinking has a foundation built on ideas and a framework anchored on concepts.

This hand drawn sketch is one of a collection of my visual thinking artifacts.

X-axis: The time that passes into a brainstorm. In the most common type of brainstorm each phase is about 5 minutes.

 

Y-axis: The creativeness and originality of ideas. It is important to note the observations on the quality of the idea are done AFTER the brainstorm.

Helping find ways to translate the importance and availability of visual thinking solutions in the viz think community into a language & through media the rest world understands. And vice versa.
