Great Question! David Sibbet's work at the Grove is really worth a look - they have a few training style materials that might be useful for this http://www.grove.com/site/index.html there's been recent interest in this in the ux profession too - as Lilly's post points out. practitioner books like the recent Sketchnote Handbook http://rohdesign.com/book/ pul together a lot of good ideas and tips in a concise how-to fashion I've heard great things about Dave Gray's workshops on this topic too (drawing for the non-drawing set) so maybe one way to kickstart this kind of practice is to get someone out to train your trainers..? lots of it points back to the grove though.. :) and, of course, visual maestros like Bill Verplank! …and - to keep the ball rolling: maybe the thing you're trying to teach isn't really visualisation, it's visual thinking…? hope this helps! cheers jy On 16 August 2013 14:38, Prof M P Ranjan <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > My real question is how can we introduce visualisation to non design > students who do not have skills in drawing?
