2021 / Workshop Facilitators
Justin Cheong
Workshop:
"Visual thinking for user experience"
Product design work can feel pretty complex, especially when you’re working with experiences that involve abstract systems, concepts or themes.
How to make sense of all that complexity? Visuals! The use of pictures – when combined with words – can help you better explore ideas, communicate abstract concepts, and unblock your thinking. Improved visual literacy can also lead to better collaboration outcomes, by enhancing your ability to communicate using visuals in a team environment.
In this practical, hands-on workshop, we’ll take you through the basics of sketching and its applications across the UX discipline. You’ll learn to draw ideas in their basic form (which is all that’s needed for visual thinking). We’ll also explore the question of when visualisations are most useful in the lifecycle of a design project. Drawing skills of any level are welcome.
