The Elevator Sketch

Feb



The Elevator Sketch is a concept similar to The Elevator Pitch, but to express an idea graphically. It is the minimum expression of a drawing to express an idea quickly.


I like to use elevator sketches to design because, when I am designing, I want to think about the concept and not the drawing. I want agility to think.


I have called this concept “The Elevator Sketch”. I advise my students to use this type of sketch to think, to design.


 


Do you draw or think?


I love to draw.


I love to think.


I design.
