Creative Diagrams: Drawing about Thinking

You know more than you think you do... Learn how to use systems diagrams to communicate complicated ideas to a broad audience.

What to expect

A master-class in how to unlock your creative thinking using story-telling and illustration techniques. Timelines, family trees, and instructions are all examples of systems diagrams used to communicate complicated ideas to a broad audience. Clear communication of ideas is more important than stylistic virtuosity. Designers use techniques like this to generate ideas, develop designs, visualise complex thinking and to plan design processes for manufacturing, assembly, pitching to clients and sharing with others.

Participants succeeded in producing insightful illustrations and creative thinking and communication techniques.
