Editors Note: The purpose of this article is to inspire designers out there to grab a pen and paper as part of the design process. When designing, many of us spontaneously turn to our keyboard and mouse but, Newsflash! It is time to go outside into the sunshine with a pencil and drawing pad and let the creative juices flow in the old traditional way. Make yourself comfortable on a bench in a park or on a beach with the sand between your toes or at a table in a coffee shop and start scratching. You will be surprised with what can come from such a break-away. It is also good to have a pocket sized drawing pad with you and while waiting for an appointment, start creating! When you browse through the hand-drawn icons below, do two things… first, determine their value as is and secondly determine their value as part of your planning process and just maybe, if you haven’t tried this yet, you will consider the possibility of trying this method in the future.
